The Election Commission wrote to the BJP late on Wednesday saying the Haryana government had not violated the Model Code of Conduct in a matter relating to Robert Vadra. The BJP alleged that the Haryana government had validated the mutation of land sold to DLF Universal Ltd. by Skylight Hospitality owned by Mr. Vadra, son-in-law of Congress president Sonia Gandhi. The commission said it came to the conclusion on examining reports from government departments.

A report said the decision on the request for renewal and transfer of licence in favour of DLF Ltd. had been pending since October 2012.
