New Delhi: Congress has approached EC demanding stern action against Narendra Modi and two other BJP leaders including Vasundhara Raje Scindia for terming Congress as ‘poisonous' .
In a detailed complaint to Chief Election Commissioner V S Sampath Thursday, the Secretary of AICC legal department K C Mittal referred to a speech of Modi on November 25 in which he had said that no other party except Congress is in a position to “spread poison” since it was this party, which enjoyed power for sixty years thereby storing the poison of power in it for all those years.
Modi's barb was apparently directed at Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi, who had once said that his mother told him that “power is poison.”
These remarks by BJP's prime ministerial nominee also came after Sonia Gandhi, in an election rally, attacked the BJP for spreading rumours that the medicine being distributed by Congress government in Rajasthan is poisonous and said that “the medicine is not poisonous but those people are poisonous, who do not have any feelings for the poor.”
