EC asks BJP to remove Anurag Thakur, Parvesh Sahib Singh from its star campaingers list

New Delhi:

In a major blow to the Bharatiya Janata Partys (BJP) assembly election campaigning in New Delhi, the Election Commission of India (ECI) on Wednesday directed the BJP to remove Union Minister Anurag Thakur and Parvesh Sahib Singh Verma from the Star Campaigners list. The ECI action follows controversial remarks made by the two BJP leaders during the poll campaigning.

Meanwhile, the AAP has asked Election Commission to impose a 48-hour campaigning ban on Union Home Minister Amit Shah for allegedly tweeting a “fake” video on Delhi government schools, party leader Sanjay Singh said on Wednesday, reports PTI.

AAP leaders Singh and Pankaj Gupta complained to the EC against the circulation of the “fake” videos of Delhi government schools by BJP leaders to “falsely defame” Delhiites.

The AAP, in its complaint to the EC, also said BJP MPs – Gautam Gambhir, Parvesh Verma and Hans Raj Hans – made “false and fabricated” videos to put out a wrong picture of Delhi government schools to the people. The AAP has also sought action against the three BJP MPs.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday had asserted that the videos of alleged deficiencies in the city’s government schools shared by Home Minister Amit Shah were false. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said he faced many difficulties to help people and in return the BJP has called him a “terrorist”.

Tagging a media report according to which BJP MP Parvesh Verma had allegedly called him a terrorist, Kejriwal said he has been working day and night towards the welfare of people.

“Gave up everything for the people of Delhi. After joining politics, I faced many difficulties so that the life of the people could improve. Today in return, the Bharatiya Janata Party is calling me a terrorist … It is very sad,” he said in a tweet.
