Another BJP spokesperson Prakash Javadekar called Rai's act as a “petty little issue”.
“I don't want to give reaction on petty little issues. Let's see what the Election Commission does on the issue?
Will Election Commission deal equally with all candidates or it goes soft on some people,” Javadekar said.
Rai, who is at the centre of the allegations, said he was wearing the Congress party symbol in a “routine” manner.
“I am a Congress candidate...that (the symbol) is on my I-card too...definitely I was not informed.
I use it usually during campaigning. This is normal and routine. It is placed on my heart,” Rai said.
