It was a policy decision taken by his party and in a parliamentary democracy every political party has the right to declare any person of its choice as its leader,&#8221; Jain said.<\/p>\n<p>Jain also repudiated Rai&#8217;s contention that the people had been appealed to vote in the name of Hindu religion with the use of slogans like &#8220;Har Har Modi&#8221; and references to &#8220;Maa Ganga&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Supreme Court has itself held that Hinduism is not a religion but a way of life. Slogans like these were mostly raised by the supporters and not the candidate himself.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the use of slogans never led to any situation that may have led to violation of the Representation of the People Act or the Model Code of Conduct,&#8221; Jain, who is also a member of the BJP national executive and a former MP from Chandigarh, said.<\/p>\n<p>Jain also sought to refute the allegation that the expenses involved in Modi&#8217;s election from Varanasi had far exceeded the limit fixed by the Election Commission and pointed out that &#8220;the candidate had furnished full details of his poll expenditure with the Returning Officer within 30 days of the declaration of results&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>As the working hours came to a close, Justice Vikram Nath ordered that hearing on the petition will continue tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>( Source &#8211; PTI )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Allahabad High Court today resumed hearing on a petition challenging the election of Narendra Modi from the Varanasi Lok Sabha seat even as his counsel rubbished the petitioner&#8217;s allegations that &#8220;undue influence&#8221; was put on the electorate who were appealed to vote in his favour &#8220;in the name of Hindu religion&#8221;.
