How Election Commission helped BJP in UP Elections. On 9th & 14th Feb (voting day), @ANI
telecast interviews with PM Modi & Yogi Adityanath. Voting day is meant to be silent period. After 4 months, ECI tells me that permission was NOT given for the interview (1/3)
Voting for UP Elections was in 7 phases. The interviews with Modi & Yogi Adityanath were telecast by @ANI
on 1st day of voting. Clearly, the idea was to influence voters for BJP. Shockingly, ECI tells me that complaints regarding this are "still being compiled."
I'd complained to ECI in Feb itself that these interviews are illegal under Representation of People Act, 1951 & are an attempt to influence voters. ECI took NO ACTION. Now it admits permission wasn't taken & is "compiling complaints".

PS: Funnily, the reply is dated 15th March but I was sent a copy only yesterday i.e. on 24th June. Why? To create an inordinate delay so that the matter can safely be buried.

institutions NO MORE are accountable to ANYONE. law&order is BIGGEST casualty in this type of set up

Can court dismiss or disolve EC for involvement in diluting the democracy rules and principles? ... Only if there does exist a honest bench to deliver justice and take care of Indian constitution! They have made a mockery of it themselves..
