The Election Commission of India (ECI) has initiated a probe into the affidavit of BJP candidate from Thiruvananthapuram, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, following a complaint by the Congress party. The complaint alleges that Chandrasekhar provided false financial information in his Lok Sabha polls affidavit, specifically declaring Rs 680 as his taxable income for 2021-2022. The Congress has raised concerns over the discrepancies between Chandrasekhar's actual and declared assets, prompting the ECI to direct the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) to verify the details of his poll affidavit. Chandrasekhar, who also serves as the Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology, has denied all charges, asserting that his disclosures are compliant with the law. Amidst this controversy, Chandrasekhar has sent a legal notice for defamation to his Congress counterpart, Shashi Tharoor, ahead of the Lok Sabha elections.
