Lashing out at AAP Cong says N D Gupta ‘close’ to BJP leader
Posting the letter filed by Maken to the Returning Officer for Biennial elections to the Council of Delhi-NCT pertaining to Rajya Sabha elections slated to be held on January 16, he tweeted, "Congress has filed objection at scrutiny of AAP Rajya Sabha candidate N.D. Gupta".
The AAP dismissed the charge, saying the Congress was trying to gain "cheap publicity" and said the law doesn't bar trustees from contesting.
Rajya Sabha candidate ND Gupta's candidature has been approved, quashing Congress complaints, AAP said here on Monday. He claimed ND Gupta was nominated because he is a "close friend of a senior BJP leader", The Indian Express reported.
Maken further said the BJP Government at the Centre had appointed ND Gupta as chairman of the "National Pension System Trust" (NPS) on September 18 in 2015.
