The Election Commission is under fire from the Congress and other opposition groups, who have made serious accusations against it. Rahul Gandhi’s presentation on the issue amplified the criticism. The Election Commission responded with a press conference on Sunday, defending its actions and cautioning the opposition against using it for political gain.
The opposition parties have reacted strongly to the situation. At the India bloc meeting, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge discussed the prospect of an impeachment motion against the CEC. A proposition to this effect was put forward during the meeting, but a final decision has not yet been reached.
