BJP urges EC for 72-hr campaigning ban on AAP's Atishi Senior BJP leaders including Vijay Goel and Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi met the Election Commission in Delhi, seeking their attention over the statements made by Aam Aadmi Party and its candidates."In Delhi, AAP is violating the model code of conduct on which we have spoken to the Election Commission. The EC must take a suo motu cognizance of the matter. AAP's candidate Atishi is openly saying to vote for goons, SP-BSP candidates, but don't vote for Modi-Amit Shah duo. I really don't understand they can stoop lower than this. Whatever Arvind Kejriwal is saying that if BJP comes to power, it will make the Sikhs and other communities run away. We have clearly stated that under Citizenship Amendment Bill, we will provide protection to the minority community," said BJP MP Vijay Goel.Meanwhile, voting in the fourth phase concluded in 72 constituencies, across 9 states. Estimated voter turnout is 63.02%.
