The alleged model code of conduct (MCC) violation took place at the event —'Dilli ki Yogshala: Yog Prashikon ko Samman Rashi Ka Vitran'—held on Friday at the Constitution Club
A day ahead of the high-stakes municipal elections in Delhi, poll authorities on Saturday directed police to take necessary action and "lodge an FIR" for alleged violation of the model code of conduct during an event organised by the AAP here.
The alleged model code of conduct (MCC) violation took place at the event —'Dilli ki Yogshala: Yog Prashikon ko Samman Rashi Ka Vitran'—held on Friday at the Constitution Club, which was attended by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his deputy Manish Sisodia.
The action by the New Delhi District Election Officer (DEO) comes after the BJP's Delhi unit on Friday alleged an MCC violation by Mr. Kejriwal and lodged a complaint with the State Election Commission.
Following the complaint, the poll panel had written to the New Delhi District's DEO, saying the event had been brought to the Commission's notice.
A top official in the New Delhi district election administration on Saturday said, due permission was taken for the event for a gathering of around 150 people and the AAP organised the event in which the CM and his deputy were present when cheques were being distributed to many yoga instructors.
"A violation has been found in this, and an action taken report has been submitted to the State Election Commission. Police authorities have been directed to lodge an FIR," he said.
According to the letter dated December 3 sent by New Delhi district election authorities, the DEO has directed to "take necessary action and lodge the FIR immediately for committing violation of MCC by the AAP".
