The Election Commission has rejected Janata Party president Subramanian Swamy's plea seeing derecognition of the Congress party. In a letter to the Election Commission, Swamy said that the Congress has "prima facie" committed an offence under electoral law as well as Income Tax law for which it is necessary to hold hearings and decide on derecognising the party.
