New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal ran into more trouble on Saturday when Delhi unit of BJP lodged a police complaint against him for dubbing the Election Commission as ‘Dhritrashtra’ and “misleading” hoardings put up by his party.

Delhi chief Manoj Tiwari said that two complaints have been filed- one by the BJP’s Legal Committee at the Parliament Street Police Station and the other is a separate complaint with the State Election Commission in this regard.

Earlier this week, Kejriwal had attacked the Election Commission over alleged tampering with the electronic voting machines (EVMs), accusing the poll body of acting like 'Dhritrashtra' to help son 'Duryodhana' (BJP) win the recent state assembly elections.

He alleged that the Commission's only intention was to bring the BJP to power in the poll-bound states and that is why it was not paying heed to his request to investigate the defective EVMs.

"In the complaint, objection has been raised to Kejriwal's statement in which he had called the Election Commission as 'Dhritrashtra' and the BJP as 'Duryodhan'," Mr Tiwari told reporters in a press conference.

He said in the complaints with police and State Election Commission, the party has also objected to the "misleading charge" against the BJP regarding hike in power and water tariffs by the Chief Minister and his deputy Manish Sisodia through the hoardings.
