The BJP on Wednesday urged the Election Commission of India (ECI) to take action against Congress general secretary Priyanka Vadra for what it termed as her “false claims” about “the personal religious devotion of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.”
A BJP delegation, including Union Ministers Hardeep Singh Puri and Arjun Ram Meghwal and party leaders Anil Baluni and Om Pathak, submitted a complaint to the ECI seeking appropriate legal action against Ms. Vadra.
The BJP’s submission centred around Ms. Vadra’s comments at a public meeting in Dausa on October 20, where she spoke of a television news report claiming that when a donation envelope offered by the Prime Minister at a temple was opened, it had only contained ₹21. “She adds that she saw the news and is not aware if the claim is true or not,” the BJP’s complaint read.
