Election Commission of India has sought a report from Delhi Chief Electoral Officer on BJP leader Kapil Mishra’s tweet on Delhi Elections 2020. Report to be submitted within 24 hours.

Kapil Mishra, former Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader-turned BJP candidate for the Delhi election, has controversially compared the February 8 polls to an “India-Pakistan” match.

“India vs Pakistan, 8 February, Delhi. India and Pakistan will compete on the streets of Delhi,” tweeted Kapil Mishra, a former Delhi minister known to shoot his mouth off and who recently made several divisive comments.
