Mumbai, Apr 5 (IBNS): The Election Commission has filed an FIR against Vanchit Bahujan Aaghadi alliance leader and Bharip Bahujan Mahasangh president Prakash Ambedkar for saying he would jail the Election Commission if their government came to power after the Lok Sabha elections.

"...Let our government come to power, we will not spare the EC. We will keep them in jail for two days," media reports quoted him as saying.
