Election commissioner refuses to comment on Varun issue

Election Commissioner Navin Chawla on Wednesday, declined to make any comment to newsmen here on the Varun Gandhi issue saying "however hard you may try, I wont play your googly."

The Election Commissioner sidestepped the issue at a press conference here when newsmen asked him why the EC did not advice the Samajvadi Party for putting up Mulayam Singh who allegedly threatened a lady district magistrate in his constituency or for making Sanjay Dutt, accused in a POTA case, its candidate, on the lines of the advice given to BJP against fielding Varun Gandhi  following his anti-Muslim speech as shown in a CD.

"I have come here to tell you on the poll preparation in Arunachal only. I won't make any comment on any other matter," Chawla said.

"But sir your declining also makes news", said a newsman to Chawla as the latter was preparing to leave the press conference.

"Maybe but I wont play your googly however hard you may try", Chawla was heard replying while leaving.
