PM Narendra Modi’s seaplane ride could disqualify BJP candidates for this reason

Goan Congress President Shantaram Naik asserted that the seaplane ride by Narendra Modi yesterday in Gujarat could lead to disqualification of BJP candidates. The disqualification is alleged due to overshooting the poll expenses limit.

He said that Modi’s seaplane ride to the Dharoi dam in Mehsana district may lead to disqualification of BJP candidates since the expenditure borne on such rides is not exempted under the Representation of the People Act and has to be included as travel expense of a ‘star campaigner’,” Naik said.

The expenses on the seaplane ride need to be included in poll expenses of respective BJP candidates, which will only get them disqualified for crossing the legal limit of expenditure, thanks to Modi,” Naik said.

The expenditure limit for Lok Sabha elections in the bigger states is Rs 70 lakh for each constituency. On Tuesday, Modi flew in the seaplane from Sabarmati ashram in Ahmedabad to the dam.
