PM Modi's speech criticising Rahul Gandhi's nomination from Wayanad does not violate Model Code, the Election Commission said.
On April 2, in his first campaign speech in Maharashtra for the 2019 general election, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that Hindus would teach the Congress a fitting lesson for coining the term Hindu terror.
At a rally in Wardha in the Vidarbha region, he asked, How can the Congress be forgiven for insulting the Hindus in front of the world? Werent you hurt when you heard the word Hindu terror? The prime minister also alluded to Rahul Gandhis decision to contest from Keralas Wayanad, which has substantial voters belonging to minority communities, thus: Hindu community is aware now. It is evident from the fact that one has to contest a seat where the minority is majority.
The Congress has alleged that the prime minister has committed a corrupt practice under Section 123 (3) of the Representation of People Act, 1951.
