Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur on Wednesday demanded ban on poll campaigning by
Congress President Rahul Gandhi alleging that his repeated "chowkidar chor hai" jibe alluding to Modi was violative of the model code of conduct. After the BJP submitted a memorandum to the Chief Election Commissioner, Thakur said, "Rahul
Gandhi is indulging in mudslinging against the Prime Minister. Calling the Prime Minister a thief is an insult to the 130 crore people of India."
