The Election Commission on Thursday issued a show-cause notice to Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra over her “envelope” remarks related to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s temple visit. It asked her to respond to the notice by October 30.
The EC action came a day after the BJP filed a complaint against her.
The BJP on Wednesday accused Ms. Vadra of “invoking the personal religious devotion of Prime Minister Narendra Modi” to make false claims during her election campaign in Rajasthan, and urged the Election Commission to take action against her.
