The Election Commission of India (ECI) has issued a first code violation notice to Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) after they distributed leaflets through newspapers.
The AAP distrusted pamphlets, saying “take money from other parties, but vote only to AAP”.
‘In these elections, I am taking money from these parties, but I will vote for Aam Aadmi Party for the betterment of Punjab,” the pamphlet said, referring to voters.
Issuing notice to AAP, Election Commission’s chief spokesperson Sandeep Hans informed, “We have issued a notice to AAP district chief Megh Raj. Stern action would be taken against the person who distributed the leaflets.”
The pamphlet also mentioned that Aam Aadmi Party could not offer money because they do not not have funds but people can vote for them and “If Aam Aadmi Party forms government in Punjab, it will make your life better. You will get free electricity. Every woman in your house will get Rs 1000. New schools and hospitals will be opened. Free treatment will be provided just like Delhi.”
Slamming the corrupt practises by Aam Aadmi Party, the Shiromani Akali Dal leader Daljit Singh Cheema urged the Election Commission of India to take notice of such practices.
Meanwhile, the administration has formed teams to remove all political advertisement from the district. All hoardings and banners of chief minister Charanjit Singh Channi and other political leaders were removed.
