his freedom of speech and expression guaranteed under the Constitution of India.<\/p>\n<p>The application was moved in his main petition seeking quashing of the poll panel&#8217;s decisions and which will be heard on April 26.<\/p>\n<p>The poll panel had earlier orally told the high court that only a complaint case against Kejriwal was pending in a Goa court for his alleged bribery remarks at election rallies in the state on January 7-8, 2017 and no FIR was lodged as directed by the EC.<\/p>\n<p>During a series of rallies in Goa on January 7-8, 2017, Kejriwal had asked voters to &#8220;accept money from the Congress and BJP candidates but vote for the AAP&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had filed two complaints against the AAP supremo, seeking his prosecution under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) for asking voters to accept money. The Congress too had condemned the Delhi chief minister&#8217;s statement.<\/p>\n<p>The poll panel had, thereafter, directed that a complaint be lodged against Kejriwal under the provisions of the Representation of the People Act dealing with bribing voters and the relevant sections of the IPC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0The Election Commission (EC) on Thursday gave an undertaking in the Delhi High Court that an advance notice will be given to Arvind Kejriwal before taking any action, including derecognition of his Aam Aadmi Party, for his alleged bribery remarks during Goa Assembly election campaign in 2017.
