EC Serves Notice To Yogi Adityanath Over ‘Modiji Ki Sena’ Remark

New Delhi: The Election Commission of India (ECI) has issued a show-cause notice to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath over his remarks where he allegedly called the Indian Army “Modi ki Sena (Modi’s army)” at a rally in Ghaziabad on April 1.

Hitting out at the opposition parties over a host of issues, Yogi Adityanath had said that what was “impossible” for the Congress, the Samajwadi Party and the Bahujan Samaj Party had become possible under the BJP rule.

“Congress ke log Aatankwadiyon ko biryani khilate the aur Modi ji ki Sena Aatankwadiyon ko goli aur gola deti hai (Congress government used to feed biryani to terrorists, while Modi’s army gives them bullets and bombs).

“This is the difference. Congress leaders use ‘ji’ after Masood Azhar’s name to encourage terrorism,” Yogi Adityanath had said while campaigning for Ghaziabad MP and Union minister VK Singh.

The ECI has asked Adityanath to reply by 5 pm on April 5. Earlier, the ECI had earlier directed all political parties and candidates to desist from “indulging in any political propaganda” involving activities of the defence forces.

Meanwhile, the opposition parties have slammed Yogi Adityanath for his remarks and accused him of insulting and humiliating the Indian Armed Forces.
