Police detains Congress workers who were marching to the Election Commission in protest over PM Modi's roadshow after casting his vote today.

The Congress Party on Thursday attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP on their road shows during the polls, saying that the Election Commission has gone mum and distanced itself from its responsibility.

"The way Modiji is doing road shows with the help of Election Commission shows that the puppet EC has shut its eyes while the constitution is being blasted every moment. Prime Minister Modiji forgot that after 22 years of poor governance, people of Gujarat have rejected the BJP and no techniques are going to help him. The EC too has distanced itself from all its responsibilities," Congress leader Randeep Surjewala said in a press conference in Delhi.


He added that Prime Minister Modi's sinking boat is getting help from the EC, which is not going to help the former.Another Congress leader, Ashok Gehlot, further said that Prime Minister Modi's road show after casting vote is a clear case of violation of the model code of conduct.


"EC seems to be working under pressure from the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister Office", he added.Surjewala further said when the Congress Party went to the Election Commission to speak about it (Prime Minister Modi's road show) "they asked us to come after 5 p.m."
