The Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR) has issued a show-cause notice to the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies (CSDS) for allegedly fudging data while presenting a comparative voting pattern in two assembly segments in Maharashtra for the 2024 Lok Sabha and Assembly elections.
This comes amid the political drama over the 'Vote Chori' campaign by Congress MP Rahul Gandhi.
The ICSSR operates under the aegis of the Ministry of Education and is the Centre's top body for research in social and human sciences, and the CSDS is supported by it.
