P Chidambaram, the former finance minister and Congress leader on Saturday took a dig at the Election Commission unanimous decision to give a clean chit to Narendra Modi and Amit Shah in four cases of an alleged violation of Model Code of Conduct.

He twitted "With one member of the EC finding fault with Modi-Shah speeches and dissenting from the other two, the Election Commission is finally showing some signs of life!"

Chidambaram's remarks came a day after the poll watchdog cleared PM Modi and Shah in four complaints of an alleged violation of the Model Code of Conduct (MCC), of which at least one decision was not unanimous.

He also wrote "Closer to May 6, 12 and 19, the Election Commission may actually reprimand Mr Modi and Mr Shah. That means the fear of Modi-Shah is finally weakening."

The  order came on the complaint filed by the Congress, which alleged that PM had violated the poll code in his public speech in Nanded on April 6 and in another speech at Varanasi on April 25.
