Varanasi: Congress's Varanasi candidate Ajay Rai is in trouble as he was seen sporting the party symbol on his kurta as he went to cast his vote on Monday in the last phase of the Lok Sabha elections. The Election Commission has now stepped in and has asked for camera footage from the polling booth where Ajay Rai had gone.
The Bharatiya Janata Party has objected to his act and said that action should be taken against him. "Modi showed the symbol and spoke 300 metre away from the polling booth. Here Ajay Rai has gone inside the booth with the party symbol. In the EC there is some slip somewhere that needs to be plugged," said BJP spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad.
Ajay Rai, meanwhile, is confident of winning. Calling Modi and Kejriwal 'outsiders', he said, "I'm the son of the soil." "We consider the Ganga as our mother, Modi doesn't have that feeling. Rahul's Varanasi rally has given a boost to the Congress's chances," he added.
