Cong seeks time to react to BJP's complaint
New Delhi, Feb 7 (UNI) The Congress today expressed its inability to comment immediately on the BJP's petition to the Election Commission, seeking that the poll expenses of Congress candidates contesting the ongoing assembly elections should also reflect the campaign tour of their party leaders.
''Our leaders are in Punjab. I will get back to you when they return here,'' AICC spokesman Abishek Singhvi told reporters, who sought his reaction to the BJP move.
The BJP had sought to justify its demand, stating that the Congress had failed to furnish its list of party leaders as required under the Representation of People Act.
