In a letter addressed to the Chief Election Commissioner, the Delhi Chief Minister wrote that the EC had shown such an "urgency and energy" in his case that even the 2016 order of a Delhi court, wherein it had dismissed a plea for an FIR in a similar case, was ignored.
He also brought media reports from Punjab and Goa to the EC's notice which claimed that Congress and BJP leaders too had asked the voters to accept bribe money but vote for them.
"He (Amarinder) told the people to take money if anybody offers it to them but vote for the Congress," he wrote.
In another case, the AAP leader alleged that BJP leader and Union Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar, who is also a former Goa chief minister, said at election meetings that some parties were offering up to Rs 500 to come to their poll meetings and that they had no objection to it, but the voters should press the 'lotus' (BJP's poll symbol) button at the time of exercising their franchise.
He hoped that the EC will soon seek the PMO's permission for lodging FIRs against these leaders.
