If you can't ensure security, don't hold polls, Arun Jaitley tells EC

Jaitley  also accused the EC of being “out of depth” in preventing instances of booth capturing during the latest round of polling.

“The Election Commission scrutinises us all the time. 

They are extremely vigilant in tackling the side shows in the elections. They are concerned with what adjectives are used by whom.

But when it comes to preventing booth capturing which has reappeared after a decade in elections 2014 they are out of their depth,” he said.

Jaitley alleged that by condoning the Returning Officer's stand on ‘No-Modi rally' in Varanasi city the Commission has used the security card to prevent the BJP Prime Ministerial candidate's right to campaign in his constituency.
