Chaturvedi argues that the exercise reflects a larger agenda for a 'one nation, one party' rule.

She criticized the Election Commission (EC) for demanding documents that are challenging for the public to procure, despite the Supreme Court's suggestions for alternative documents. Questions have been raised about democracy being compromised, with accusations from Tejashwi Yadav that the BJP aims to manipulate the electoral process.
