On Wednesday, the ruling Aam Aadmi Party had written a letter to the Election Commission alleging "wrongful acceptance of nomination forms of BJP candidate Kapil Mishra from Model Town constituency" and had demanded the cancellation of his nomination.
"Kapil Mishra, the candidate of BJP has been in possession of government accommodation in last 10 years and as per the guidelines issued by the Election Commission (EC), it is mandatory for the candidate to furnish No-Dues Certificate pertaining to electricity, water and telephone expenses for such an accommodation at the time of filing nominations," the AAP letter addressed to the Chief Election Officer (CEO), Delhi stated.
