Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar: Criticism of Voters is Politically Motivated

Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar stated on Sunday that political maneuvering is occurring by targeting Indian voters while using the Election Commission as a shield. Kumar addressed a press conference where he highlighted allegations of double voting, noting the lack of supporting evidence provided. He asserted that neither the Election Commission nor voters are intimidated by such unsubstantiated claims. Kumar emphasized the Election Commission’s unwavering support for all voters, regardless of their background, and its commitment to standing firm. He also mentioned the legal provision allowing political parties 45 days to challenge election results in the Supreme Court, questioning the motives behind post-election allegations. Furthermore, Kumar pointed out the transparency of the Lok Sabha elections, involving a vast number of employees and agents, and questioned the feasibility of vote manipulation in such a process.
