BJP has lodged complaint with the officer of chief electoral officer (CEO) against Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi accusing him of poll code violation besides a penal action against him for alleged violation of Motor Vehicle Act during his roadshow at Gwalior in Madhya Pradesh on April 10.
Rahul Gandhi had wooed people in Gwalior with his two-hour road show by sitting atop a black Tata Safari with the Congress candidate Ashok Singh.
BJP worker Awdesh Singh Tomar has asked the district collector, state police and CEO, Bhopal to take action against the Congress vice-president for violating the rule 123 of Motor Vehicles Act, 1988.
"Everyone saw Congress prime ministerial candidate's buffoonery through print and electronic media. Instead of appreciating his gesture, strict action should be taken against him for violating the rules," said Tomar.
"I have asked the local administration whether Congress or Rahul Gandhi had taken prior permission to sit atop SUV," said Tomar adding that he would move court if no action is taken.
Rule 123 of Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 bars a person from riding on running board of vehicle. It says - "No person driving or in charge of a motor vehicle shall carry any person or permit any person to be carried on the running board or otherwise than within the body of the motor vehicle. No person shall travel on the running board or on the top or on the bonnet of a motor vehicle."
Interestingly, Rahul Gandhi was given a clean chit by Kerala police after a similar complaint made by CPI (M) state secretary Pinarayi Vijayan who had demanded action for violating the rule 123 of Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 at his roadshow in Alappuzha on January 13. A PIL was filed in the court for the same.
