India, Feb. 4 -- Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convener Arvind Kejriwal sparked a fresh controversy on Monday - two days before the assembly polls in Delhi - after he alleged that chief election commissioner (CEC) Rajiv Kumar is not taking action against purported incidents of hooliganism by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as he is "looking for a post-retirement position".

He also announced that the AAP has launched a "counteroffensive" to thwart the BJP's "criminal tactics" by deploying hidden cameras, bodycams, and "quick response teams" to "expose and stop malpractices".

The Election Commission did not comment on the matter till the time of going to print.

The BJP meanwhile dismissed his claims as "baseless".
