New Delhi, Apr 1 : In the wake of senior BJP leader Jaswant Singh being charged with violation of model code of conduct while campaigning for his son in Barmer district in Rajasthan, BJP today wondered if the EC guidelines apply to the parents of the candidates.

"I wonder whether the model code of conduct applies to the parents of the candidates as well because Jaswant Singh is not a candidate,"BJP spokesperson Balbir Punj told PTI.

Singh was allegedly giving money to a woman in Barmer, from where his son Manvendra is in the fray to retain his seat.

Punj said he would be able to give a more clear picture once he discusses the issue with Singh.

"We have not been able to contact Jaswant Singh so far since he seems to be in some remote part between Barmer and Jaisalmer," Punj said.

Singh is the Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha.

No case has been filed against Singh or Manvendra in the matter though unconfirmed reports said some parties opposed to BJP may pursue the issue.
