‘Election Commission is sleeping’: Congress leader Ashok Gehlot criticizes poll body

19 Nov 2024 Evaluate

Former Chief Minister of Rajasthan and Congress leader Ashok Gehlot criticized the Election Commission, stating that it has failed to uphold its responsibilities during the campaigning for the assembly polls in Maharashtra and Jharkhand. 

Gehlot’s comments were made in the context of the BJP’s poll slogans like ‘batenge to katenge’ and ‘ek hain toh safe hain,’ which he claims to be a dangerous approach and that they are polarising the whole election process. Gehlot said that the Election Commission was sleeping and people nowadays feel that the Election Commission should be locked. He said that the poll body plays an important role in saving the democracy of the country but was not able to do this. 

Ashok Gehlot further said that the Congress wants that the election should be fought on issues like inflation, unemployment, and corruption. Meanwhile, the BJP is trying to polarise the whole process by making remarks like ‘batoge toh katoge’ and ‘ek hain toh safe hain.’ He added, ‘This approach is dangerous…They are fighting this election not on issues but on religion, and this is a dangerous trend. This is a danger to democracy’. Congress leader also expressed confidence in the victory of the INDIA alliance in both Maharashtra and Jharkhand. 

The first phase of the Jharkhand Assembly elections concluded with voting being completed in 43 of 81 assembly seats on November 13, with the remaining 38 seats in Jharkhand taking place on November 20, along with the 288 seats in the Maharashtra Assembly. Votes will be counted on November 23.
