Hindustan TimesChief minister Arvind Kejriwal, within hours after being served a notice by the Chief Electoral Officer of Delhi over allegations of violating the Model Code of Conduct, on Wednesday urged voters “to accept money from the BJP and the Congress but cast their votes in favour of the Aam Aadmi Party”. The poll panel served the notice after BJP’s Vijender Gupta and Arti Mehra lodged a complaint with the CEO. Earlier in the day, the Delhi CEO served a notice to Kejriwal, also the convener of the AAP, seeking his response over allegations made by leader of opposition Vijender Gupta that pamphlets were being distributed by the party asking voters to take bribe from the Congress and the BJP but cast their votes in favour of AAP in the May 12 polls. The poll panel served the notice to Kejriwal after two senior leaders of the BJP, Vijender Gupta and Arti Mehra, lodged a complaint with the CEO against AAP on Monday for allegedly distributing pamphlets in slum clusters.
