Congress Unveils Election Commission's 'Bias' Allegations Amid Voter Roll Controversy

The Congress accuses the Election Commission of incompetence and bias, especially concerning the voter roll issue in Bihar. Chief Election Commissioner Gynaesh Kumar denies these claims amidst the ongoing voter roll revision. Congress questions the commission's dedication to implementing Supreme Court orders regarding the matter.

The Congress Party has levelled serious allegations against the Election Commission, accusing it of 'blatant partisanship' and 'incompetence' following Chief Election Commissioner Gynaesh Kumar's remarks defending the commission's actions in Bihar.

Addressing these claims, Kumar stated that the goal is to rectify voter lists and criticized any misinformation being spread around the process. However, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh countered by questioning whether the commission would adhere to the Supreme Court's directives.

Congress leaders, including Pawan Khera, further criticized the CEC, urging him to resist political pressure and ensure the democracy is protected. The opposition's charges come amid widespread dissatisfaction with the ongoing voter list revisions and the EC's stance.
