Delhi Election News: The district election officer of the New Delhi constituency has asked the police to look into complaints of violations of the model code of conduct filed by AAP and its convener Arvind Kejriwal against BJP candidate Parvesh Verma.

AAP and Kejriwal have alleged that BJP and Verma set up job camps under the 'Har Ghar Naukri' campaign for registrations and distribution of Rs 1,100, PTI reported quoting officials. Verma, who is contesting against Kejriwal in the New Delhi seat, had last week announced the ‘Har Ghar Naukri’ campaign. The fair was scheduled to be held on Wednesday (January 15).

The election officers said flying squads formed to check model code of conduct violations did not find any camps or pamphlets as alleged by the AAP.

Kejriwal, Verma and Congress' Sandeep Dikshit are among the prominent candidates from the New Delhi constituency.
