AAP protests post removal, asks EC: What of our complaints against BJP?

An EC spokesperson declined to comment on the issue.

Questioning the EC’s impartiality after X was asked to remove the party’s tweet, she said, “Till now, we have given 9 complaints to EC… on BJP’s hoardings… posters… The EC is not taking any action against them.”

The AAP spokesperson further said “without any evidence or recovery”, the BJP is slinging mud at the Delhi CM on its social media posts but the EC had been “turning a blind eye”.

“Where is the lie in our post? After the BJP received Rs 60 crore from Sarath Reddy, whom they previously depicted as the ‘kingpin’ of the alleged liquor scam, ED made him a witness… he got bail by giving false statements against Kejriwal,” alleged Kakkar. “EC directed to remove the post without even giving us a chance to present our case,” she added.

Earlier, the EC had also ordered X to take down certain posts of YSR Congress, TDP’s N Chandrababu Naidu and Bihar Deputy Chief Minister and BJP leader Samrat Choudhary for violation of the Model Code of Conduct, the microblogging site had said on Tuesday.
