New Delhi: Congress today slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing him of "cheap gimmickry" and "misleading" the nation and the Election Commission over the land deal between Robert Vadra an DLF, minutes after the poll body ruled that there was no violation of the model code of conduct by the Haryana government in clearing the deal.

"The Prime Minister did not even hesitate in subverting and unnecessarily involving the institution of Election Commission of India for mere political gains," Congress General Secretary and Communication Department in charge Ajay Maken said.
