| Arvind Kejriwal is a gentleman and must obey rules, Chief Election Commissioner HS Brahma today said, amid a row over a series of controversial comments made by the Aam Aadmi Party chief in his campaign for the Delhi election.
"In a game, everyone must know the rules and boundaries and play accordingly. Mr Kejriwal is a gentleman and a former colleague and he knows the system. If he wants to go to court, I can't stop him. Everyone in the country can go to court." Mr Brahma told NDTV in an exclusive interview.

Arvind Kejriwal has said that he wants to take the Election Commission to court for issuing a warning to him for saying in public meetings that people can take bribe from any party but vote only for AAP.
Mr Kejriwal told NDTV, "I didn't tell the voters to take the bribe and vote for those parties. It's a very serious issue, money for votes and my telling people had reduced the problem to some extent in the last elections. When I said it last time, no one complained."
Delhi votes for a new assembly on February 7. The results will be declared three days later.
The Election Commission chief also spoke about the two voter identity cards in the name of the BJP's presumptive chief minister, Kiran Bedi. "The Delhi chief electoral officer has informed me that Mrs Bedi had intimated her change of address last year and it is not her fault. There may be slip by local poll officials. It is not Mrs Bedi's fault."
Mr Brahma said though this is an assembly election, it is being eagerly watched abroad and some countries are sending their observers to Delhi.
