CEC Admits Guilt?

Описание: An Indian Express investigation exposed a deepening rift within the Election Commission, with two Election Commissioners raising serious objections about how the constitutional body was being run.

Days after the ECI appeared to dismiss the report, its latest statement has now addressed — and, in several instances, acted on — many of the very concerns raised by the dissenting Commissioners.

From a review of the ECI-Net voter-list software, to acknowledging that the two Commissioners wrote to the Cabinet Secretary, to new orders governing meetings, official communication and officers’ foreign travel, the Commission’s latest moves raise a larger question: if these were merely “inputs”, as the ECI initially suggested, why were they acted upon only after the Indian Express investigation?
