The Election Commission blamed clerical errors for a letter by the EC being circulated with a BJP seal. Issuing an official clarification, the EC said that the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) submitted a document bearing the party seal as part of a clarification requested regarding the 2019 guidelines on the publication of criminal antecedents of candidates. It said that, due to an oversight by the office, the same document was sent to other parties for the same clarification.The response comes as an affidavit attached to a letter dated March 19, 2019, which was circulated to political parties in Kerala with a BJP seal on it. CPI(M) Kerala shared the images of the letter, as it accused that the EC is controlled by the same political power. It also added a snarky remark stating that the party should at least have the “courtesy to maintain separate desks”The CPI(M), posting on X, said, “Have all pretences been dropped by the BJP?

It has been cross-verified with at least two of the recipients. It is also confirmed that the email originated from the official Election Commission source.”In response to the post, the Election Commission issued an official clarification into the matter. It said that it acknowledges the fault in circulation that happened because of a clerical error. It said, ” It has come to our notice that a letter from the Election Commission, bearing the seal of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), is being circulated across various Malayalam news channels.

Along with their request, the party submitted a photocopy of the original 2019 directive.
