Acts on Delhi BJP chief’s complaint

New Delhi: The Election Commission on Saturday issued a show-cause notice to Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal for "prima facie" violating the Model Code of Conduct with his remarks alleging that BJP is trying to incite communal violence in the capital.

The EC gave the former Delhi Chief Minister time till 3pm on January 20 to respond to the show cause, failing which the poll body will take a decision without any further reference to him. The EC has referred to a complaint by BJP's Delhi unit president Satish Upadhyay in which he had alleged that in a press conference the AAP leader had claimed that that BJP is trying to incite communal violence in Delhi and has spread communal violence in Trilokpuri and Nandnagri and is also trying to do so in Nangloi and Bawana. The EC also referred to his alleged remarks that the BJP is also responsible for attacks on churches in Delhi.
