Allegations of Partisan Election Commission Spur Congress' Call for Action

Senior Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi raised doubts over the Election Commission's neutrality, calling for a parliamentary discussion on voter list revisions. Gogoi, addressing media before the Congress Assam unit's meeting, criticized the BJP-led government's decision not to permit such discussions, despite the Chief Election Commissioner's appointment by them.

He questioned whether the government was concealing manipulations in previous elections and advocated for transparency regarding the status of voter rights and polling stations. Gogoi cited instances of voters finding their names missing and demanded accountability from the central government.

The Congress meeting discussed strategies for the upcoming Assam assembly elections, highlighting economic and political resolutions. The party condemned the government's economic policies and alleged misallocation of state resources. This discourse sets the stage for the Congress' campaign against the BJP in the approaching state polls.
