“In order to appraise EC about the situation, we asked for time day before yesterday. Till now, we have received no response. It is very unfortunate that BJP derails the poll discourse in Delhi, but the EC silently watches it and does not take stock of the situation,” Singh was quoted saying.

The AAP has written to the EC attaching the CD of Yogi Adityanath’s speeches and sought his arrest over his speeches and banning from election campaigning in Delhi.
