MUMBAI, Jan. 1 -- The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has complained to the Maharashtra State Election Commission (SEC) about BJP MLA Rahul Narwekar, accusing him of "hijacking and misusing the election machinery in Colaba" to prevent AAP candidate Margaret Da Costa from filing her nomination despite being present in the premises of the returning officer (RO) well before the deadline. State Election Commissioner Dinesh Waghmare said that the SEC had called for a report from BMC commissioner Bhushan Gagrani on this. Mumbai AAP president Preeti Sharma Menon said that the RO acted "illegally at the behest of Rahul Narwekar". "Our Ward No 227 candidate, Margaret Da Costa, was not allowed to file her nomination," she said. "In what capacity was Rahul Narwekar allowed to instruct the RO to ignore due process?" According to Sharma Menon, as per the law, all people in the premises had to be given a token and their forms had to be collected by the RO and processed. "They have to be then called to the RO's chambers one by one with a formal announcement, after which each form is taken up separately for submission. This was not followed," she claimed. The AAP Mumbai president said that Da Costa had paid the fees of Rs.2,500 and was specifically asked to wait. "Her form and affidavit were checked and she was waiting patiently to be called inside the RO's office," she said. "But eventually her nomination could not be filed." Sharma Menon added, "Rahul Narwekar has committed this brazen illegality of not following due process. We have formally complained to the SEC and will follow this through." Narwekar chose to rubbish the charges and congratulate the SEC instead....
