The Election Commission has started investigation into the statement made by Nepali Congress central member Arju Rana Deuba during the election campaign.

The commission has said that it will seek an explanation from Congress leader Rana for making controversial remarks during the election campaign.

The video of her promising to send youths to Malaysia for employment on free visa-free tickets went viral on social media. Similarly, the other video was also heavily criticized on social media where she was seen threatning to cut the budget from the local bodies if congress lost the election.
