Modi's 2014 poll selfie? BJP leaders follow suit

April 12, 2019 09:57

Case registered against 11 people including 4 BJP leaders for taking selfies inside the polling booth yesterday. Details awaited on the leaders, but it's clearly a page out of their leader's notebook.

Remember in 2014, Narendra Modi, the then Gujarat CM landed himself in a soup by displaying the BJP lotus symbol and making a speech in a polling booth in violation of electoral laws following which police filed an FIR against him.

The police action came after the Election Commission of India took serious note of the BJP prime ministerial candidate's violation of the electoral laws, under which no person can display any election matter or address a meeting in a polling booth on the day of election, and ordered filing of FIR against Modi.
