Opposition cries foul over Modi`s Campaign |
The video from March 31 of PM Modi with Chowkidars and Dalits in all major districts of the country has not gone down well with opposition parties.They claim the video conference was a premeditated use of government machinery by BJP in violation of the model code of conduct. Preeta Harit, former income tax commissioner and local Congress candidate from Agra has demanded that the Election Commission should take note of the fact that most of the participants in the video conference were wearing orange colored t-shirts on which Modi`s slogan "Main Bhi Chowkidar" was emblazoned in bold letters across the chest. According to opposition, the presence of the Chief Minister in the meeting where municipal staff and public officials were called to attend the PM`s political video conference was a clear violation of the model code of conduct and action should be taken against the BJP. It is being said that there were government employees present in the video conference and the entire event being stage-managed by the BJP was highlighted by Rajesh Valmiki whom Modi chose to ask a question. According to opposition, involving government employees in party campaign is against the model code of conduct.
