The Election Commission has issued a notice to AAP chief and the party's CM candidate, Arvind Kejriwal, on the Congress's complaint for violating the Model Code of Conduct. Kejriwal gets a notice from EC over his remarks asking voters to accept money from others but vote only for AAP. He has been told to explain his stance on this matter by 4 pm on January 22.

Kejriwal was on Sunday at the centre of a controversy when he asked voters in Delhi to take the money offered by the BJP and the Congress but "fool' them by voting for the AAP in the coming Delhi Assembly elections, drawing sharp criticism from both the parties.

"It's election time. When people from the BJP and the Congress come offering money, don't refuse, accept ... some have looted money from 2G, some have looted money from coal scam.

"And if any party does not show up, go to its office and take the amount saying we were waiting but you didn't come," Kejriwal said amid cheers from the crowd.

The former Delhi Chief Minister was speaking at a rally in West Delhi's Nawada area in support of the AAP's Uttam Nagar candidate, Naresh Balyan.
