TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal accused the Election Commission of promoting bribery by banning him from telling people to take money from other parties but vote for the AAP.
Kejriwal’s letter to Chief Election Commissioner Nasim Zaidi comes after the poll panel censored him on Friday for violating the Model Code of Conduct and warning of stern action.
Kejriwal was accused of “deliberately and intentionally” instigating the public to take bribes for voting in the Goa assembly election of February 4.
“The allegation is baseless. The truth is I am trying to curb bribery. The whole nation knows the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) was born to fight corruption and bribery and is committed to put an end to them,” Kejriwal wrote in his letter.
Kejriwal said he was not instigating people to take bribes. “What wrong am I saying? If I asked them to vote for the same party that they take money from, that would be bribery. I am telling them not to vote for the party which gives them money,” he wrote.
