The Election Commission on Thursday imposed a 72-hour campaigning ban on junior finance minister Anurag Thakur on a charge that he had raised provocative slogans at a Delhi election meet. A second BJP leader Parvesh Verma has been taken off the campaign trail in national capital Delhi for 96 hours.
Anurag Thakur and Parvesh Verma were the BJP’s star campaigners for the February 8 elections in Delhi. They were taken off this list yesterday on the Election Commission’s orders but their party had insisted that they were allowed to campaign.
That situation changed on Thursday afternoon after the poll panel decided to ban them from campaigning for their statements that rivals alleged, were divisive and communally charged.
