The Election Commission has issued notice to Aam Aadmi Party’s Rajya Sabha candidate ND Gupta over allegation of holding office of profit.

He has been asked to appear before the Returning Officer of Delhi Rajya Sabha election today.

Earlier, the Congress had filed a complaint against the AAP’s Rajya Sabha candidate from Delhi, demanding rejection of his candidature in the Rajya Sabha election as he holds an office of profit as a trustee of the National Pension System.

Meanwhile, Aam Aadmi Party has rejected the allegation. Alongwith AAP candidates Sanjay Singh and Sushil Gupta, ND Gupta had filed their nominations on Thursday.
