The Election Commission has been the target of strong criticism from the Congress and other opposition parties. Rahul Gandhi’s recent presentation brought further attention to the matter. The Election Commission issued a statement on Sunday to defend itself, and warned opposition parties to avoid using the commission for political purposes.
Following the criticism, opposition political parties have expressed their dissatisfaction. During the India bloc meeting, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge raised the possibility of an impeachment motion against the CEC. While a proposal was brought up during the meeting, no final decision was made.
