Faye D'Souza spoke at length about the dubious Indian Express report that passed off internal communication of dissent by the other two Election Commissioners regarding certain decisions about the Special Intensive Revision of the electoral rolls.
When Indian Express reports of "ideological rifts" or the "2-1 votes" by the Election Commissioners, remember that the very existence of a three-member Election Commission was once considered anathema by both the government and the judiciary. The idea of having a multi-member Election Commission is to enable the majority to rule.
Indian Express’ ‘ECI crisis’ narrative unravels under scrutiny, with dissenting notes presented as institutional collapse and sweeping centralisation claims contradicted by the ECI and ground-level EROs.
Gandhi's allegations against the BJP and the ECI paint an utterly false picture and give the impression that the latter has been acting in an arbitrary manner, at the direction of the ruling party. However, if one looks at the legal framework dealing with the structure of political parties and their symbols, the truth of Gandhi's baseless allegations lies exposed.
