Calling it a violation of election norms, the BJP has raised a strong objection over Congress president-elect Rahul Gandhi giving interviews to media channels even as the party has lodged a complaint with the Election Commission for the same. A day before the polling for the second and the last phase in Gujarat, Rahul Gandhi appeared on several local news channels, including ABP Asmita, in a move termed as 'breach of poll code' by the ruling BJP.
Union Minister Piyush Goyal, while addressing a press conference at party headquarters, said that it was not permitted to give an interview to TV channels in the poll-bound state during last 48 hours of the election process.
