The Election Commission of India — variously called the Election Commission, the ECI or EC — was set up in 1950 as an autonomous constitutional authority responsible for carrying out election processes in India. It administers elections to the Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha, State Legislative Assemblies, and the offices of the President and Vice President.
Headquartered in Delhi, the Election Commission consists of three members — a chief election commissioner and two other commissioners — who are appointed by the President. They have a tenure of six years or until they reach the age of 65 years, whichever is earlier. The Election Commission prepares, maintains, and updates the electoral roll; supervises the nomination of candidates; registers political parties and classifies them on national and state levels; and monitors election campaigns, including political fund-raising.
EC has deliberately decided on a poll that would stretch for a month and more. This is to make Polling free and peaceful but now after four phase is over the design is very clear that this decision is to make and facilitate Modi and Amit Shah play their game to upset the people’s choice. It is seen that BJP is allowed to bring in rowdy elements from outside Bengal and is very liberal with the polling MCC violation by Modi and Shah while it is helping them to make transfers of officials in consultations with BJP. Its outright flagrant violation of EC’s role of being impartial and transparent to provide equal opportunity to all the the Political parties. But one thing for sure it is drawing more and more sympathy for Mamata the way Modi is ebcome daily passenger in attending to campaign in Bengal and that is at the cost of lives of millions of people from spread of Koruna. Modi and Amit Shah must be restrained in calling mamata a leader of Muslim community and taken to task for the same. Mamata gives equal weightage to all the communities which Modi makes use of and calls her a leader of minority community. Why is Election commission not taking cognizance of the issue?
Sir: As TMC has alleged, EC is “Extremely Compromised” . One cannot expect anything better from them.
