A day after Election Commission barred BJP leader Himanta Biswa Sarma from campaigning in the ongoing Assam assembly elections, Congress leader and party’s chief spokesman Randeep Singh Surjewala on Saturday said the EC should also ban Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Amit Shah and JP Nadda from campaigning to ensure free and fair elections in the state.
“EC barring Himanta Biswa Sarma from campaigning for 48 hours proves that BJP has lost polls and is resorting to tactics to influence polls. But, they are not going to get successful in their conspiracy. We urge that though notices have been given to newspaper which ran the advertisements, it should also bar Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, Sarbananda Sonowal and JP Nadda too who were shown in ads in Assam’s newspapers, for free and fair polls,” Surjewala told ANI.
In his series of tweets Surjewala slammed The BJP for the EVM found in BJP candidate’s car in Assam
Truth prevails in #AssamAssemblyElections2021 !
Intimidation, threats & fake scare tactics have lost to the majesty of Constitution.
Bravo to #ECI for banning Sh. Himanta Biswa Sarma for 48 hours completely.
Democracy has won !
Assam will win on 2nd May !!! pic.twitter.com/kl9KE3XP6u— Randeep Singh Surjewala (@rssurjewala) April 2, 2021
. #EVM Fraud is for everyone to see.
EVMs found in the car of BJP MLA candidate Krishnedru Paul after the second phase of polling in Assam.
Does the #ECI needs #BJP to carry the EVM’s.
If ECI doesn’t wake up even now & remains mute or complicit, it is fatal for democracy! pic.twitter.com/Rsn1dpzOeI

Staring at decisive defeat in #AssamAssemblyElections2021 , BJP has panicked immeasurably.
The last desperate measure is always #EVM_theft_Assam .
Will the #ECI reply -:
1. Why were EVM recovered from BJP Candidate, Krishnendu Paul’s car?
