New Delhi March 28 (IANS) The Congress on Wednesday questioned the Election Commission for exonerating BJP s IT head Amit Malviya for leakage of poll dates for Karnataka assembly polls and also for releasing a "press note explaining BJP s version".
Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala tweeted: "Intriguing events on Date Leak and BJP s role appear on ECI website."
"First EC gives a clean chit to BJP National IT head by keeping him out of purview of enquiry yet uploads another Press Note explaining BJP s version! Now who is putting EC s credibility at stake?" he asked attaching the EC order and the press note.
Surjewala earlier in a tweet noted that on Tuesday Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi went to EC with BJP IT head s explanation and the poll panel had exonerated Malviya and then ordered an inquiry and terming it "strange" why Malviya was not questioned.
The Election Commission on Tuesday formed a six-member panel to probe the leakage of poll dates for Karnataka assembly polls and submit a report within seven days.
Malviya and Karnataka Congress social media in-charge Srivatsa tweeted declaring the dates for election in Karnataka even before the EC announcement.
