The EC had issued a notice to Rahul Gandhi before the Gujarat Assembly polls
Will the Election Commission of India (ECI) issue a notice to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for giving an interview a day before polling in Uttar Pradesh, since it had issued one to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi before the Gujarat polls, Lok Sabha member and Congress leader Manickam Tagore asked on Thursday.
In a tweet, the Congress MP asked why the ECI was “silent” now, after the Prime Minister gave the news agency Asia News International an extensive interview on Wednesday, a day before the first phase of the seven-phase polls in U.P.
