'Our elections among most rigorous'
Hindustan Times Gurugram
|June 12, 2025
Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar has defended India's electoral process, calling it one of the world's most transparent democratic exercises, in his first comments since Congress leaders accused the Election Commission of rigging the 2024 Maharashtra polls and manipulating electoral rolls.
NEW DELHI:
Delivering a keynote at the Stockholm International Conference on Electoral Integrity in Sweden on Tuesday evening, Kumar said India's electoral exercise — including the annual revision of rolls — is conducted under intense public and institutional scrutiny, describing it as "an act akin to concurrent auditing at every stage".
The event, hosted by the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (International IDEA), was attended by over 100 participants from election management bodies representing nearly 50 countries.
