New Delhi, Jan 24 (UNI) Under fire over his tweets drawing comparison of coming Delhi Assembly Elections with India vs Pakistan contest, Bharatiya Janata Party's candidate from Model Town Assembly constituency Kapil Mishra on Friday told the Election Commission that his tweets were taken 'out of context'.
In his response to the showcause notice by the Returning Officer, the BJP candidate said that his tweets were not related to do with polls in Delhi. These remarks, said Mishra, were not stated during an election rally, so he should not be held responsible of violating the Model Code of Conduct (MCC), which has come into force after the announcement of poll schedule in Delhi.
