Gyanesh Kumar: EC Stands Firm Against Attempts to Politicize Elections

Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar spoke out on Sunday, accusing political actors of targeting voters while using the Election Commission to further their agendas. Kumar discussed claims of double voting, noting that no evidence was provided to support the accusations. He emphasized that neither the Election Commission nor the voters are afraid of these false allegations. He made it clear that the Election Commission stands by all voters, regardless of their background. Kumar highlighted the 45-day window for challenging election results in the Supreme Court, and questioned why allegations were being made outside this timeframe. The CEC also spoke about the transparency of the Lok Sabha elections, with millions of employees and agents involved, which makes it nearly impossible for votes to be stolen.
