New Delhi: Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram on Saturday said Rajasthan Governor Kalyan Singh and Niti Aayog vice chairman Rajiv Kumar have no right to remain in office after their indictment by the EC for poll code violation. The former finance minister’s tweet seeking the resignations of Singh and Kumar came after the EC pointed to code violations by the two. On Friday, the EC expressed “displeasure” over the NITI Aayog vice chairman’s remarks against the Congress’s proposed minimum income scheme ‘NYAY’.
Earlier, the poll panel had on Monday concluded Singh’s remarks supporting the return of Modi as PM were violative of the code. “Guv Kalyan Singh and Niti Aayog Vice Chairman Rajiv Kumar must resign immediately. After the indictment by the EC, they have no right to remain in office,” Chidambaram tweeted.
