The AAP has filed a complaint with the Election Commission (EC) against Narendra Modi for allegedly “bribing” voters.
In a press release, AAP alleged that sarees were distributed in Modi’s constituency Varanasi. The party further said it had submitted images of saree gift packs with ‘Shree Tortoise Sarees’ written on them, carrying Modi's photo and address of the supplier in Surat to the EC.
The party demanded that an FIR be registered against Modi for allegedly trying to bribe voters and said it had attached all relevant documents, photos and videos along with its complaint.
In a separate complaint to the EC, the AAP drew its attention towards the fact that on April 24, the day Modi filed his nomination, which was preceded by a procession in Varanasi, an expenditure of around ₹6 crore was incurred, the release said.
“The party has informed the EC that helicopter rental, hoardings and cut-outs bearing Modi's photographs will have to be included in its election expenditure,” it said.
