Amit Shah’s Chopper Inspected By EC Officials

Mumbai: Home Minister Amit Shah’s helicopter was inspected by the Election Commission officials on Friday, while he was on a campaign trail in the poll-bound Maharashtra.

The move comes on back of a barrage of complaints and grudges from Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray’s camp over the frisking of his aircrafts by poll officials, some days ago.

The Home Minister himself took to social media to share information about the frisking of his helicopter during an election campaign in Hingoli Assembly constituency of Maharashtra. Sharing the video, Amit Shah wrote on X, “BJP believes in fair elections and healthy election system and follows all the rules made by the Election Commission. We all must contribute to a healthy election system and perform our duties in keeping India as the strongest democracy in the world.”

In the video, the EC officials could be scanning his bags, suitcases and other materials inside his chopper, while on a campaign trail in poll-bound state. The entire inspection of his plane was videographed on camera as per the EC's standard operating procedure (SOP).
