Delhi assembly elections: FIR filed against CM Atishi in violation of Model Code of Conduct
PTC News Desk: Delhi police has registered a case against Delhi chief minister Atishi for allegedly using a government vehicle for political purpose in violation of Model Code of Conduct on January 7.
The case was registered based on the complaint of BJP leader after a Public Works Department (PWD) vehicle was spotted delivering election campaign material to AAP office after the election announcement on January 7.
in response to the allegations, Delhi CM said, "The whole country saw how Parvesh Verma was distributing Rs 1100...Later, Parvesh Verma himself tweeted that he was holding a health camp and distribution specs. After that, he distributed bedsheets with his name on them. But the Election Commission doesn't see any MCC violation in this. The question arises - who is the Police with? Is there pressure on EC officials? We hope the commitment of a free and fair election given by EC will be implemented on the ground."

AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal took to hi social media and took a potshot over the complaint lodged by BJP leader and said, ""Their leaders openly distribute money, sarees, blankets, gold chains etc., get fake votes made, yet not even an FIR is registered. But an FIR is immediately registered against Chief Minister Atishi ji. Aam Aadmi Party is fighting against the entire system. This rotten system has to be changed and cleaned together with the people. Both BJP and Congress are part of the same rotten system."
Meanwhile, Delhi Chief Minister and AAP candidate from Kalkaji Assembly seat Atishi on Tuesday filed her nomination for the upcoming Delhi Assembly Polls, scheduled on February 5.
Atishi is in the electoral fray against the BJP candidate Ramesh Bidhuri and Congress' Alka Lamba for the Kalkaji seat. In the 2020 Assembly polls, Atishi contested from the Kalkaji seat and defeated the BJP candidate Dharambir Singh by a vote margin of more than 10 per cent.
