The Election Commission sees no reason to take the Opposition's 'vote chori' complaints seriously. 'How dare you?' is not how a sincere and honest guardian of the Constitution would respond.
Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar came under sharp attack at joint press conference of opposition parties including AAP, which has exited INDIA bloc.
While bond yields tend to fall amid low inflation & interest rate cuts, market experts say they’ve been rising due to concerns over tax collections, fiscal deficit & potential impact of US tariffs.
It is one of the most advanced long-range air defence and anti-missile radars. It has been acquired under an about USD 145-million deal signed in 2020.
To be truly functional and durable, even eternal, a state doesn’t just need a leader, a party or an ideology. It needs functional and robust institutions.
You could not have been more wrong, Mr. Sanghvi.
The people of India have had faith in the Election Commission since 1950. Yes, at times, concerns and reservations were aired by various political parties and leaders and the same was looked into and clarified by the EC. As it is, the EC is continually engaged in updating electoral rolls and refining the electoral procedure to minimize the chances of fraud and manipulation.
Rahul Gandhi is not the mature and measured political leader whose allegations can be taken seriously and worked on. The fact that he is the Leader of Opposition (LoP) is a matter of shame and disgust for most Indians (even those who hate the Hindutva brigade).
Let us just assume that the EC does an SIR for Mahadevpura constituency and puts out the facts as well as it’s conclusions in the public domain. Do you think that the “honourable” LoP, Rahul Gandhi, would accept the results of the SIR? Do you seriously believe that Rahul Gandhi has the political maturity to understand and appreciate the EC’s work in upholding the Constitution and conducting elections without fear or favour?
The nation has no doubts on the integrity and character of the EC. it’s just Rahul Gandhi and his lackeys, Jairam Ramesh and Mallikarjun Kharge, who believe that the EC fixes elections for the BJP.
And the truth is – No matter what the EC says or does, they will continue to hold on to their beliefs. There is absolutely nothing the EC can do to convince Rahul Gandhi and his bunch of clowns that the EC is actually an upright and honest institution safeguarding Indian democracy.
Whatever credibility the Election Commission painstakingly built in the post-Seshan era was recklessly squandered during the UPA years. The current CEC has now bulldozed even the last vestiges of that fragile facade of integrity and functionality. His disgraceful press conference will be remembered as a defining low point—an epochal reminder of how a Constitutional authority, a civil servant, and even a civilised individual must never conduct themselves.
