Gujarat CM Rupani, Swamy flay Chidambaram for attack on EC

New Delhi, Oct 20 (UNI) The BJP on Friday slammed senior Congress leader P Chidambaram for his adverse remarks on Election Commission for delay in announcing the poll dates for Gujarat. The Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani said the comments were not appropriate and said the Congress party was scared of the electoral battle in the western state. "I think Chidambaram and the entire Congress are scared of the upcoming Gujarat Elections," he said in Gandhinagar. Senior BJP leader Dr Subramanian Swamy also flayed Mr Chidambaram. "PC has tweeted I am told that Gujarat election date has not been announced because BJP is scared!! Forgotten Const Art 324?," said Dr Swamy - known for his rivalry with the former Union Minister. The Article 324 of The Constitution Of India says that superintendence, direction and power control of elections is vested with the Election Commission. Earlier in the day, taking a jibe at the Election commission for not announcing dates for assembly elections in Gujarat along with Himachal Pradesh, former Home Minister Chidambaram has said that the EC has authorised PM to announce dates for Gujarat elections at his last rally.
