Acting on complaints filed by BJP and Congress leaders, the Election Commission (EC) on Tuesday asked AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal to give evidence supporting his allegation that the BJP government in Haryana was “poisoning” Delhi’s water supply in the run-up to the February 5 polls.

While the EC did not issue a notice to Kejriwal, it wrote to him saying that the “matter is being examined by the Commission in the light of provisions of MCC (model code of conduct) and relevant provisions of law”. It asked Kejriwal to provide a “factual and legal matrix along with evidentiary support” of his allegation by 8 pm Wednesday.

The electors tend to believe whatever is being said in public by their leaders and in that sense the statements, if not true, affect the campaign discourse, thereby vitiating the purity of elections and erode the trust of the voters…,” the EC wrote to Kejriwal.”
