Is it fair, asks Modi

BJP’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi on Wednesday gave a twist to the Election Commission’s decision to file a First Information Report (FIR) in Gujarat for poll violation, saying that it was the first FIR registered against him in life, and surprisingly it was for showing a flower.

Addressing an election rally in Tirupati, Mr. Modi referred to the issue and said he had not attacked anyone with a knife. Never a case was filed against him even for wrong parking or driving on the wrong side. And the first FIR filed against him was for showing a lotus, he said as the crowd cheered.
