Election Commission acting like an adjunct of BJP: CPI (M)

Thiruvananthapuram, Aug 10: The Election Commission of India (ECI) is acting like an adjunct of the BJP government at the Centre without recognising its position as a constitutional body, CPI(M) general secretary M A Baby alleged on Sunday.

Talking to reporters, he said Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi has made certain "explosive revelations" on the alleged malpractices in the voters’ list published by the Election Commission for the last general elections.

He alleged that without considering the Supreme Court’s suggestions, the BJP government had appointed those who are loyal to them in the Election Commission, who are now “engaged in mischief.”
