Congress Targeting EC for Political Gains, Says Kishan Reddy
Kishan Reddy said Congress questions the EC only after losses and defended electoral roll revisions and EVMs as routine democratic processes.
- On Sunday, Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy accused Congress of selectively targeting the Election Commission for political gains, claiming the party questions electoral processes only when it loses elections.
- Addressing a press conference at BJP State headquarters, Reddy argued Congress accepted the Election Commission's legitimacy when winning in Karnataka, Himachal Pradesh, and Telangana, but raised doubts when the BJP emerged victorious elsewhere.
- Leader of the Opposition R. Ashok challenged Congress on Sunday to cancel elections in States they won, including Karnataka, if they doubt the process, alleging the party is disillusioned about future Parliamentary polls.
- Regarding the Special Intensive Revision in West Bengal, Reddy noted the exercise follows Supreme Court supervision, while accusing Congress of targeting constitutional bodies like the Enforcement Directorate and Central Bureau of Investigation.
- Contrasting current complaints with the era of Nehru and Indira Gandhi, Reddy claimed relatives were previously appointed as Election Commissioners and asserted that internal discussions among Election Commissioners are normal in a democracy.
