MUMBAI: Responding to questions on whether the state's electoral watchdog would take action on comments like ' vote jihad ', additional chief electoral officer Kiran Kulkarni on Wednesday said, "This has legal aspects... We will seek legal opinion before deciding to forward it to the ECI." He said the state electoral office had not received complaints on the issue since the model code of conduct came into force Tuesday.
Two weeks ago, deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis had stirred a controversy by stating at a rally in Kolhapur that "vote jihad was witnessed during Lok Sabha poll . This resulted in MVA getting huge success in at least 14 out of 48 LS seats".
