'EC sent on long leave by BJP' 

The RJD stated that this has happened after "crazy leaders" provoked people to open fire at the protestors of the anti-CAA disposition. They also took a jibe at the Election Commission for being sent on a "long leave" by the BJP and pulling wool over their eyes over the recent happenings in the country. 

RJD's comments were come in the backdrop of the recent statements made by Union Finance Minister (MoS) Anurag Thakur in a BJP rally in Delhi where he had openly asked people to "shoot the traitors" ('Desh ke gaddaron ko, goli maron salon ko') after which the Election Commission (EC) had ordered the BJP to remove him from star campaigners list, and has subsequently prohibited him from campaigning in the Delhi polls for 96 hours.
