Over 4,719 all-party meetings have been conducted, highlighting the Commission's commitment to robust electoral governance.

The Election Commission held a crucial meeting with top BJP figures, including party president J P Nadda, on Thursday, as part of its effort to engage with political parties over electoral issues. This forms a key aspect of the Commission's outreach initiative aimed at understanding the concerns and suggestions of major stakeholders.

As part of this initiative, BJP, led by influential members like Bhupender Yadav, Om Pathank, and Arun Singh, met with Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi. This marks BJP as the second national party to interact with the EC, following the Bahujan Samaj Party.
