New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) has hit out at the Congress over its sarcastic tweet against the Election Commission and said the grand old party had begun making excuses as they feared losing the Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh elections. He added that when Congress wins the election they find no issues with the election commission.
Shehzad Poonawalla tweeted, "Even before poll dates are announced (as per news channels) - Congress has started its usual bahana baazi fearing defeat in both states. ECI par nishana. Kyuki Rahul ko hai bachana. Parivar tantra has conditional commitment to LOKTANTRA. When they win ECI is ok!"
This came after the Congress in a tweet said, "The Election Commission of India is an autonomous institution. It conducts fair elections," with an emoji of the three monkeys.
