VARANASI: The Aam Aadmi party (AAP) on Saturday alleged that about Rs 6 crore were spent on the roadshow of BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi and demanded from the district election authorities to register an FIR for violation of model code of conduct.
“Modi came here by chopper to file his nomination,” the AAP leader said.
“As per estimates of his expenditure on chopper, on people brought from different places to participate in his roadshow, and on hoardings along with materials distributed like caps, sarees, t-shirts, diaries etc it amounts to Rs 5.75 crore,” he added.
AAP has written a letter to the district election officer and sent a copy to Uttar Pradesh chief election officer and Election Commission to probe the matter and take an appropriate action and register FIR.
He said that roadshow was gross violation of model code of conduct.
Singh also showed a saree box with photograph of Narendra Modi on it and ‘Modi Lao, Desh Bachao’ written on it and address on the box mentioned as Surat, as a proof of their allegations.
Meanwhile, Mamata Banerjee took a dig at Modi, saying that he is contesting two seats out of fear.
“Why is he contesting from two seats – one from Gujarat and another from UP? That means he is not sure of his victory,” Banerjee said in a TV interview. (PTI)
