“The Election Commission keeps having regular dialogue with various political parties. In the last four months, all party meetings were organized in every assembly constituency, in every district and also with every state chief electoral officer,” Kumar told media persons on the sides of an event in Uttar Pradesh’s Faizabad. Kumar's claims were made on the same day when the election watchdog Association of Democratic Reforms moved the Supreme Court, challenging the central poll panel's decision to conduct the special intensive revision in Bihar, which will go to polls this November.
