The Daily Guardian
|September 15, 2025
AICC general secretary K C Venugopal on Sunday alleged that the Election Commission of India (ECI) has turned into a department of BJP and super body for 'Vote chori'.
Venugopal said this while talking to media persons after holding meetings with members of the Political Affairs Committee (PAC) and heads of various wings of the Odisha unit of Congress.
'Vote Chori' and strengthening of the organisation were discussed at the meeting.
"We, the people of India, want a free and fair election from the ECI, which is the real duty of the Commission. However, the Commission has become a department of BJP. It is no longer a neutral body. They are not doing the work neutrally," he alleged.
