Lok Sabha Polls 2024: The Congress said on Friday that the grand old party made 117 complaints to the Election Commission in 77 days about various violations, including the code of conduct, but on many such complaints, no action has been taken. This comes a day ahead of the final phase of voting in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections.

The Congress said that out of 117 complaints, 14 were made against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, 8 were against Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath, and 3 complaints were against Union Home Minister Amit Shah. 

Speaking at a press conference, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said, "We made 117 complaints to the Election Commission in 77 days. These complaints were about various violations, including the code of conduct. Of these, 14 complaints were made against Narendra Modi, 8 complaints against CM Yogi, and 3 complaints against Home Minister Amit Shah. But there are many such complaints on which no action has been taken.

हमने 77 दिनों में चुनाव आयोग से 117 शिकायतें कीं।

ये शिकायतें आचार संहिता समेत कई अन्य उल्लंघनों के बारे में थीं।

इनमें 14 शिकायतें नरेंद्र मोदी, 8 शिकायतें CM योगी और 3 शिकायतें गृहमंत्री अमित शाह के खिलाफ की गईं।

लेकिन कई ऐसी शिकायतें हैं, जिनपर कोई कार्रवाई नहीं हुई है।… pic.twitter.com/jVe5qR94en

The Congress slammed the Bharatiya Janata Party over its '400 paar' slogan, saying that after they gave this slogan, their intentions became clear that they wanted to change the Constitution. Congress leader Pawan Khera said that for the grand old party, saving the constitution is more important than elections. 

जब BJP ने '400 पार' का नारा दिया, तब इनके इरादे देश के सामने आए।

BJP के कई नेताओं ने कहा कि वे संविधान बदल देंगे, लेकिन कांग्रेस के नेताओं ने संविधान को बचाने की मुहिम छेड़ दी।

चुनाव से ज्यादा जरूरी हमारे लिए संविधान और लोकतंत्र को बचाना है।

"When BJP gave the slogan of 'crossing 400', then their intentions became clear before the country. Many BJP leaders said that they would change the Constitution, but Congress leaders launched a campaign to save the Constitution. More important for us than elections is to save the Constitution and democracy," Pawan Khera said at the press conference.

The polling in the final phase of the Lok Sabha elections, which are being held in seven phases, is set to be held on June 1. The counting of votes will take place on June 4.
