New Delhi: The Congress today complained to the Election Commission over Narendra Modi mentioning wife's name for the first time in poll affidavit. Congress leader Kapil Sibal today addressed a press conference in Delhi, here are the highlights:
- I want to clarify that Congress doesn't raise any individuals issue, nor do we want to do that
- In 2001 Modi became a candidate in Gujarat, then in 2002, 2007 and 2010 he bace a candidate from Maninagar
- A rule in Form 26 says he should also disclose his wife's assets and also about his marital status to the Election Commission. But he left it blank in earlier instances
- In the earlier elections, he never mentioned it which is a legal responsibility
- Then came the issue of Snoopgate
- He is the Chief Minister and the prime ministerial candidate of BJP which is a high designation
- He didn't abide by the law
- Why did he bring it in front of the nation today? There is no answer to that as well
- The affidavits filed earlier are all false
- We have complained to Election Commission about the same and asked for a probe
- He didn't furnish these details earlier as per Election Commission's guidelines
- In 2014, he disclosed that he indeed was married
- The Election Commission is liable to take action
- It is a matter of concern as he is an aspirant for the office of PM
- If he didn't give info about his marital status, we are a little concerned how then do we put the trust of the nation in his hands
- There may be many other things that he may have not disclosed
- Forthrightness, integrity and disclosing all facts
