MP Elections: Congress accuses PM Modi of poll code violation, demands EC probe
Bhopal, Nov 18: The Madhya Pradesh Congress wrote a letter to the Election Commission on Sunday alleging a violation of model code of conduct by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his address at Chindwara.

MPCC wrote a letter which said that PM Modi, in one of his rallies, had violated the code of conduct and misguided voters.
Modi in his public rally in Chhindwara had said, "Kamal Nath says that Congress will give tickets to goons, all it needs is a candidate who can win."

In the letter, MPCC mentions of a fake video which was circulated amid election period, about which the EC is still investigating.
MPPC claims in the letter that a complaint was also registered in the cyber cell.
