@rajeev_mp is one MP who may have filed false affidavit but the larger question is what is the #ElectionCommissionofIndia doing as a constitutional body to ensure that politician across spectrum disclose true information about their assets?

Voters of India have a fundamental right to know the antecedents of their candidates under Art. 19 (1) (a). But #ElectionCommisisonofIndia says : go to local criminal court. I can, but majority of people can't take on sitting candidates. What is the duty of #ECI then? @sunetrac
If the #ElectionCommissionofIndia can invoke it's constitutional power under Art. 324 to stop the campaign in WB, before the actual period, why can it not use the same power to stop filing of false affidavits? @SreenivasanJain @sardesairajdeep @rkarnad @pvdinesh @ShashiTharoor
