EC asks Amethi returning officer to probe Swamy's charges against Rahul

New Delhi, Nov 17:  The Election Commission has asked the Returning Officer of Amethi Lok Sabha constituency to probe allegations by Subramanian Swamy that Rahul Gandhi gave “wrong information” regarding his assets while filing nomination

The Commission directed the CEO to forward Swamy's complaint to the Returning Officer for appropriate action.  “The Commission may be kept informed of the action taken in the matter,” the letter said.



Swamy had earlier this month alleged that Gandhi did not show shares owned by him in Associated Journals which ran the now-defunct National Herald newspaper in the affidavit he filed during Lok Sabha elections in 2009.
