New Delhi: The Punjab Chief Minister and star campaigner for Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Delhi elections Bagwant Mann Singh on Thursday alleged that the poll panel has been overlooking the “open money distribution by the BJP people” after Delhi police visited his residence at Kapurthala House.
In a post on X, Mann alleged that Delhi Police and Election Commission were defaming Punjabis at the behest of the BJP.
“Today, a team of Election Commission team along with Delhi Police has come to conduct a raid at my residence Kapurthala House in Delhi. BJP people are openly distributing money in Delhi but Delhi Police and Election Commission are seeing this. No action is being taken on all this. In a way, Delhi Police and Election Commission, at the behest of BJP, are defaming Punjabis, which is very condemnable,” Mann posted on X.
Earlier, Delhi Chief Minister Atishi had earlier claimed that Delhi Police had reached Kapurthala House, where Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann stays during his visits to the national capital, but sources in Election Commission had said that no such raid has been conducted.
“Delhi Police have reached to raid Bhagwant Mann’s house in Delhi. BJP people are distributing money, shoes, bedsheets in broad daylight – that is not visible. Instead they reach to raid the residence of an elected Chief Minister. Wow BJP! Delhi people will give the answer on the 5th,” Atishi posted on X.
Election Commission sources had earlier said that the poll panel has not conducted any raid on the Delhi residence of Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, the Kapurthala House.
Returning Officer of New Delhi constituency, OP Pandey, later said they received complaints about money distribution.
“We have to dispose of the complaint in 100 minutes. Our FST had come here which was not allowed to enter. I have come here to request them to let us enter along with a cameraperson. We will come back after an inquiry. The complaint of money distribution was received on the cVIGIL app,” Pandey said when asked about the purpose of the visit.
