Despite EC rap, Kejriwal repeats bribery remarks

January 23, 2015 22:13

Unfazed by a fresh notice slapped on him by the Election Commission over his bribery remarks, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal today suggested that voters accept money, if offered by BJP and Congress.

The AAP chief made the remarks in two successive rallies at Chhatarpur and Deoli Assembly constituencies today.

"Nowadays have come closer when people from Congress and BJP would approach you to give money. Don't refuse. Take it. They would also give you rice or blankets. Take them But give your vote to AAP," he said.

A fresh show cause notice was slapped on Kejriwal asking him to respond by January 27 "failing which the Election Commission of India shall take a decision without any further reference to you".

In his speech, the AAP supremo, however, added "don't take liquor, as it is dangerous. It destroys families."
