Gujarat BJP complains to EC against Modi's character assassination by Congress

Polling will be held on December 4, while votes will counted on December 8. The BJP has fielded Surat City BJP president Purnesh Modi from the constituency while the Congress has given ticket to D N Patel, a leader of Koli Patel community.

“The statements made by Modhwadia are actual contravention of the provisions of the model code of conduct, which specifically mention that any political party or any leader of a political party should refrain himself from making any personal comment against any rival political party or any leader of the said party,” Bhagat said in a statement.
