New Delhi, April 7 (IANS) The Congress moved the Election Commission over the BJP manifesto released Monday, saying that it was violation of the model code of conduct and urged the panel to pass orders to stop its publicity and circulation.

The Congress also referred to mention of Ram Temple at Ayodhya in the manifesto.
