New Delhi: The Election Commission has sought a report from the chief electoral officer of Gujarat on a 'roadshow' of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Ahmedabad Tuesday which the Congress alleged violated electoral law. Briefing reporters on the phase three of Lok Sabha elections, which concluded Tuesday, senior Deputy Election Commissioner Umesh Sinha said, a report has been sought in this regard from the chief electoral officer of Gujarat. Sources later pointed out that poll authorities in Gujarat have indicated that prima facie, the PM has not violated the model code.

But there was no official word on this from the EC. Section 126 of the Representation of the People Act states that, "No person shall ¿ convene, hold, attend, join or address any public meeting or procession in connection with an election ... in any polling area during the period of forty-eight hours ending with the hour fixed for the conclusion of the poll for any election in that polling area." Deputy Election Commissioner Chandra Bhushan Kumar, responding to a question on BJP chief Amit Shah's reported remarks on 'Modi ji ki vayu sena' made in West Bengal on Monday, said, "details have to be collected which will come in a day or two."
