When requested concerning the EC's stand on inflammatory speeches, Arora mentioned in his evaluation meetings, he tried to find out the status of such cases lodged all the way through previous elections.
"Whatever the EC has found, I have apprised about its intentions to the chief secretary and the DGP, who assured that strict action will be taken in such cases," he mentioned.
The fee is dedicated to protecting loose and fair polls, and will promptly act on any complaint referring to this, the CEC mentioned.
