| The Congress will complain to the Election Commission against Narendra Modi, the BJP's prime ministerial candidate, for addressing a rally in Uttar Pradesh against the backdrop of Hindu religious images.
At Mr Modi's rally in Faizabad, the stage had images of Hindu god Ram and a temple. Faizabad is right next to Ayodhya where the 16th century Babri mosque was razed by Hindu activists in 1992. The BJP and its affiliates have been campaigning for a Ram temple at the site.
Mr Modi also invoked Ram's name, saying, "I assure you from Bhagwan Ram's land, I will fight corruption throughout my life. I have seen poverty, that's why I have the courage to say this."
A Congress leader said the party would go to the Election Commission in the evening to complain about the use of religious imagery in Modi's rally in Faizabad.
Mr Modi is addressing a string of rallies at Uttar Pradesh today, including in Amethi, the constituency from where Rahul Gandhi is contesting for the third time
