ECI takes note of alleged MCC violations by Modi, Rahul Gandhi
The poll panel forwarded the complaints to BJP President JP Nadda and Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge seeking their response by 11 am on April 29.
Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi’s jibe at his detractors on Twitter boomeranged as it attracted a bigger one from a former Congress man, now a BJP minister in Assam.
On Sunday, Rahul Gandhi posted a video of his dog ‘Pidi’ with the comment that the four-legged was responsible for his tweets. In response, Assam’s education minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, who is a former Congress man, responded: “Sir,who knows him better than me. Still remember you busy feeding biscuits 2 him while We wanted to discuss urgent Assam’s issues.”

Himanta Biswa Sarma, currently one of BJP’s star performers from North-East, reminded Rahul Gandhi how he had once given prominence to feeding his dog when he (Himanta) wanted to discuss Assam’s important issues with him.
Union Minister Kiren Rijiju also came in support of Himanta through a tweet. While tagging the Assam minister’s tweet, Rijiju wrote: “Many Congress(I) leaders also have similar stories but HImanta Biswa ji had the spunk to point-out & walk-out.”
