The Election Commission issued a show-cause notice to BJP President Amit Shah, Congress Party Vice President Rahul Gandhi and RJD Chief Lalu Prasad Yadav on Sunday evening for violating the Model Code of Conduct (MCC). In early October, Lalu had lashed out at BJP President, Amit Shah, and had called him a ‘narbhakshi,’ or a cannibal. 

Friends, remembers if by mistake BJP loses here and Nitish-Lalu win, the results will be announced in Patna but firecrackers will go off in Pakistan.

EC Notice Quoting Shah’s Speech

The Commission has given him time till 3.00 pm of November four to explain his stand “failing which the EC shall take a decision without any further reference to you.”

Rahul Gandhi was notified to explain his remark, “BJP makes Hindu, Muslim fight each other.” 

Shah had told an election rally at Raxual on Indo-Nepal border in East Champaran district on Thursday.
