EC NOTICE TO KEJRI FOR ‘BRIBERY’ REMARK

The Election Commission on Monday issued a notice of model code violation to Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal for his reported remarks in poll- bound Goa where he had allegedly promoted bribery . The commission said it is prima facie of the opinion that by making such statements in Goa on January 8, Kejriwal has violated the model code which came into force on January 4. EC quoted him as saying at a rally that Congress and BJP will come to distribute money. People should accept it in new currency and ask for ₹10,000 instead of ₹5,000 keeping in mind the inflation. He had said that the vote should go to AAP.
