Raipur: Chhattisgarh chief minister Vishnu Deo Sai on Thursday slammed Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi for targeting Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar and accused him of finding the Election Commission a scapegoat for the series of election setbacks suffered by his party, Congress.

It is most unfortunate that a constitutional body like the Election Commission is tainted by Mr. Gandhi, he said.

Madhya Pradesh chief minister Mohan Yadav also took a swipe at Mr. Gandhi for picking up Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) as his target, saying that the Congress leader should introspect about it.
