Delhi Assembly elections this time saw not just the highest voter turnout but also the highest number of violations of the Model Code of Conduct.

A total of 42,000 litres of liquor worth more than Rs 1 crore was seized while Rs 1.64 crore, which was allegedly meant for distribution among voters in order to lure them, was recovered from various constituencies.

Delhi Election Commission also detected 21 cases of paid news out of 80 complaints it received.

As many as 346 First Information Reports (FIRs) were also registered against various political parties for various offences. Leading the pack was the Aam Aadmi Party as 105 cases were filed against them while 88 FIRs were filed against Congress and 86 against BJP.

In addition to that, five FIRs were also registered for model code violation today.

Although no incident related to poll rivalry was reported this time as against 2008's three.

In 2008, the number of licenced arms deposited/impounded and cancelled stood at 382 which soured to 1680 this time.

According to Chief Election Commissioner, Vijay Dev, the data was collected between October 4, when the Model Code of Conduct was enforced in Delhi, and December 2.

"It was an incident free election, although a few cases of minor scuffle were reported from some areas. Model code of conduct was strictly implemented to provide level playing field to all political parties," he said.
