Delhi polls: AAP complains to EC against Bedi

India Blooms News Service | | 07 Feb 2015, 03:03 pm
New Delhi, Feb 7 (IBNS): As Delhiites continue to cast their votes in the high-voltage Assembly election here, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Saturday filed a complaint to the Election Commission against Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief ministerial candidate Kiran Bedi for violating the model code of conduct in Krishna Nagar constituency.

"Complaint has been filed with EC against Kiran Bedi ji for violation of MCC,"  the AAP tweeted.

The party has alleged that Bedi has conducted a 5 km 'Padyatra', bike rally and and met voters in the Krishna Nagar constituency on the same day of the election.

The BJP has reportedly defended her saying it's a usual exercise.

Earlier in the day, Bedi alleged that she has video recording of AAP threatening voters, buying votes and also intimidating women.

"AAP is trying to buy votes for Rs 300. They are resorting to scuffles, women are also threatened. You can show this video. I am going to give this to the head office [BJP] for action," said Kiran Bedi speaking to NDTV.

She said the videos are available but no one is showing them.

The AAP has rubbished the charges.

Over the crucial electoral contest, political parties namely AAP and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) got involved in a war of words to win the national capital.

The polling on Saturday is majorly seen as a contest between AAP’s Arvind Kejirwal’s claims versus Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s charismatic leadership following his landslide victory in the Lok Sabha polls last year.
