New Delhi: The Congress on Friday moved the Election Commission demanding stern action against Gujarat Chief Minister and BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi and BJP Rajasthan chief ministerial candidate Vasundhara Raje for dubbing the party as "poisonous".
Modi had on Sunday, said no party can be "more poisonous" than the Congress as it has thrived on "poison of power" for almost half a century. Modi also charged Congress with treating the poor merely as a vote bank and said in a democracy, a chai wallah, a pan wallah, a labourer or a farmer can become prime minister.
A day after Sonia Gandhi said the BJP was a party of poisonous people, Modi said Rahul Gandhi had once recalled that his mother Sonia had compared power to poison.
"Madam's Shehzada once said in Jaipur that his mother told him that power is poison. They ruled the country for almost 50 years since Independence...then who has tasted poison for a longer period...it is Congress...then who else can be more poisonous (than Congress)," Modi said.
