Did EC take swipe at Uddhav Thackeray over helicopter checking row? Rajiv Kumar says ‘we do not...’

Live Mint  

Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar on Tuesday took a swipe at political leaders for targeting the poll body and 'threatening officials' for checking their helicopters, while announcing a schedule for the Delhi assembly elections. In November, ahead of the Maharashtra assembly elections, Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray slammed the election commission for checking his chopper on at least three occasions while addressing a poll rally. Further, Thackeray also questioned if the poll officials had checked the choppers and baggage of leaders from the ruling party and demanded that he wanted to see the video of officials checking the bags of Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. We don't discriminate," said the EC, indirectly referring to a row over checking Uddhav Thackeray's helicopter.
