Congress Accuses CEC of Acting as 'Front' for PM-HM Duo, Calls Move an Affront to Constitution

The Congress on Friday escalated its attack on the Election Commission, alleging that Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar has acted as a “front” for what Jairam Ramesh described as a “diabolical PM-HM duo.” The party said the CEC’s conduct on citizenship-related questions and the alleged illegal amendment of Form 6 to disenfranchise young voters amounted to a direct violation of the Constitution in letter and spirit.
