Chitradurga/New Delhi: The Congress on Tuesday demanded an investigation into the transportation of a “suspicious black box” in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s helicopter during poll campaign in Chitradurga.
A Congress delegation met the Chief Election Commissioner Sunil Arora and submitted five memorandums on various issues including hate speeches by BJP president Amit Shah and its Himachal Pradesh chief Satpal Singh Satti during campaigning for Lok Sabha elections.
The Congress delegation was led by party spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi and also included AICC secretary Pranav Jha.
“It is strange that the prime minister, holding such a high post, carries a black box in his own helicopter…,” Singhvi said.
“There should be a thorough investigation into this. We have not got any satisfactory reply on this issue. It is strange that the ruling party is doing such an illegal thing while hiding behind the prime minister,” he added.
Last week, when Modi was in Chitradurga, a 14-second video of two people from Modi’s security detail, lifting what seemed like a heavy trunk, went viral. The box was placed into an SUV, part of the Prime Minister’s convoy.
However, Superintendent of Police Dr Arun K ended the mystery surrounding the black box by stating that as per information received from security agencies, the box was part of the PM’s security detail, kept in a vehicle which was a part of his convoy.
