Mittal said that sequence of these events clearly establish that the three BJP leaders did not confine themselves to the principles laid down in Mode Code of Conduct regarding the government policy but made statements which are totally “distorted and malicious”.
“The statement made Modi in his address on November 24 would show that he was speaking out of context by distorting the facts to play to the public gallery. It is submitted that such statements are an impediment in conduct of fair and proper election and are not permissible in public discourse,” the party said.
He said that Modi has “not learnt any lesson” from the Election Commission's “disapprobation” and he continues to flout the Model Code of Conduct and urged the EC to take “stern” action against BJP and its three leaders—Modi, Raje and Yadav for violation of Model Code of Conduct.
