AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal went to the Election Commission’s office here on Friday and furnished his reply to the poll body over its notice to him on his “poison mixed” in Yamuna water remark.
Sources from the Election Commission (EC) said that they accepted the meetings as a “special case” as campaigning in Delhi is at its peak. “The Commission accepted the manner of meeting with Arvind Kejriwal today as a special case, altering its earlier schedule in view of the thick of the campaign period in Delhi and for leaving no scope for complaint for any stakeholders,” an EC source said.
“The Commission gave a patient hearing to Arvind Kejriwal to substantiate his statements on Yamuna poisoning,” the source added.
Talking to reporters after Mr. Kejriwal’s meeting with the Election Commission, AAP MP Sanjay Singh said that his party chief gave the poll panel a detailed reply. “Kejriwal told them in details how a conspiracy was hatched by the BJP to send poisonous water to Delhi. The Election Commission has said they will conduct a probe,” Mr. Singh told reporters.- PTI
