The BJP has said the Election Commission must "reprimand, censure, and restrain" Rahul Gandhi from "handing out lies during campaigning" for next week's Maharashtra election. The ruling party called on the poll panel to act against the Congress MP for "gross violation" of the Model Code of Conduct, referring to a section of speech in Mumbai last week; in a written complaint to the EC Monday afternoon, the BJP said Mr Gandhi had "falsely accused other states of stealing and snatching alleged opportunities from the State of Maharashtra".
