Election Commission Bias: Congress Accuses EC of Favoring BJP

K C Venugopal, Congress General Secretary, has launched a scathing attack on the Election Commission, accusing it of operating as a mere extension of the BJP.

He charged that the EC rapidly issued a notice to Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge for his comments about the Prime Minister, yet ignored similar infractions by Narendra Modi. Venugopal suggested this reflected a bias within the EC.

The controversy highlights ongoing tensions over election rule enforcement and perceived partisanship as Kharge later clarified his remarks were figurative, accusing the PM of undermining democracy.
