Congress today demanded the disqualification of senior BJP leader Gopinath Munde from the Lok Sabha for his remarks that he had spent Rs 8 crore on his election campaign in the last general elections.

Party leader Sanjay Nirupam said Munde's comments showed that he violated laws governing election expenditure, and the Election Commission must take note of it.

The expenditure limit on the Lok Sabha election is Rs 25 lakh and he spent a whopping Rs 7.75 crore more than the limit, Nirupam said, demanding stern action against the BJP's deputy leader in Lok Sabha.
