The Election Commission on Tuesday rapped the Railways on the knuckles days after public transporter said it has withdrawn paper cups with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s campaign line, “Main Bhi Chowkidar” (I too am a watchman), printed on them. Ahead of the tea cup fiasco, the Railways was forced to withdraw tickets with photos of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Social media users had reported last week that tea was being served on a Shatabdi train in paper cups with PM Modi’s campaign line, “Main Bhi Chowkidar (I’m also watchman)”, printed on them. Last month, GoAir withdrew its boarding passes with photographs of Modi and Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani, plugging the Vibrant Gujarat Summit. A day before that national carrier Air India rolled back its passes with the same information and photos of the two leaders.
