Accusing Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok Chavan of indulging in electoral malpractices, the BJP on Monday said it will move the Election Commission to demand a probe into the issue.
Naqvi said he would lead a BJP delegation to the EC today. Party MP and spokesperson Prakash Javadekar would also be a part of the delegation. He said the party would demand a high level probe into the issue. "We would demand the EC to lodge a case against Chavan for electoral malpractices," he added.
Quoting media reports, the BJP leader said Chavan managed full page coverage in several newspapers though he had spent a little over Rs 5,000 on print advertisement as per the records submitted to the returning officer.
The Chief Minister won the Bhokar assembly seat of Maharashtra's Nanded district.
