Congress to file complaint with poll body over PM, Amit Shah’s ‘walk’ after voting
Gujarat ,Dec 5: Gujarat Congress is likely to file a complaint to the Election Commission of India against both Prime Minsiter Modi and Amit Shah over their ‘walk’ after voting for the second phase of the Gujarat Assembly Elections.
Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of campaigning during voting for the second phase of Gujarat Assembly elections. He said that Home Minister Amit Shah was seen with a Gujarat MP who was seen campaigning and chanting BJP while talking.
“During the polling day, PM Modi did a roadshow of two & half hours while he went to cast his vote. Will appeal to EC against it. It seems like the Election Commission is willingly under pressure,” said Cong Spokesperson Pawan Khera on Gujarat Polls 2022.

Both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah cast their votes at different polling booths in Ahmedabad.
