NEW DELHI: The opposition is making ‘ridiculous charges’ against the Election Commission, Union Minister Jitendra Singh said on Friday, rejecting allegations that the BJP is in any way influencing the poll panel into giving Prime Minister Narendra Modi a clean chit for his speeches.
In an interview, the Minister also debunked the opposition’s allegations of horse-trading against Modi for saying 40 MLAs of Mamata Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress are in touch with him.
“The BJP has no reason to prevent somebody for joining it if leaders in other political parties feel suffocated for different reasons,” he said.
Singh said opposition parties like the Congress have no evidence to back their allegations. (AGENCIES)
