New Delhi: The state unit of the BJP on Tuesday urged the Election Commission (EC) to cancel Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal's candidature and ban him from addressing public gatherings, alleging that he has violated the model code of conduct.
"He has been making frivolous accusations against other parties and individuals so that he can mislead the people. We have urged the EC to take immediate action against him and to cancel his candidature as well as ban him from addressing public rallies," Satish Upadhyay, president of the BJP Delhi unit, told reporters.
The Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) media convener Praveen Shankar Kapoor told IANS that the complaint to the Election Commission consisted of "four to five violations" of the code of conduct that Mr Kejriwal has committed.
"It includes him asking voters to accept the alleged bribes given by the BJP and Congress as well as his pasting pictures of Kiran Bedi (BJP's chief ministerial candidate) without her permission," Mr Kapoor said.
