“We request your Commission to urgently intervene in this situation and ensure that the level playing field is not disrupted in such a manner.”If such a situation is allowed to prevail, then the ruling regime and its leaders can always take undue advantage of such protocols and limit the election campaign of opposition leaders,” Ramesh said in his complaint.In a post on X, Venugopal accused the Modi government of being “brazen” and resorting to “petty tactics” to stop Gandhi from campaigning.”The delay of nearly 2 hours in LOP Shri Rahul Gandhi Ji’s helicopter taking off (caused by the Air Traffic Control) reeks of the BJP’s intention to deny the Congress a level playing field in these elections,” Venugopal said, adding that the Congress has approached the ECI and will demand an explanation.”This mistreatment took place on Dharti Aaba Birsa Munda Ji’s jayanti, when Rahul Ji is in his birthplace Jharkhand to commemorate his contributions towards Adivasi rights.”The Modi government is so brazen that it will resort to such petty tactics to stop Rahul Ji, who has for decades spoken for Adivasi empowerment and protecting the Constitution at all costs. The people of Jharkhand know very well the BJP’s shameless attitude and will punish them on voting day,” Venugopal said.Congress leader and former Youth Congress chief B V Srinivas said, “BJP’s brazen tactics exposed! 2-hr delay in Rahul Gandhi’s helicopter takeoff on Birsa Munda’s birthday due to ATC clearance is nothing but an attempt to stop him from campaigning.” “Rahul Ji’s long-standing fight for Adivasi rights & Constitution won’t be silenced. Jharkhand, vote for justice,” Srinivas said.
