The first instance of dissent within the Election Commission - and the poll panel's alleged attempts to cover it up - flared up 10 days ago, over an order pertaining to a Rajasthan BJP leader, NDTV has found. As NDTV earlier reported, the same Commissioner dissented with the Commission over clean chits to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP chief Amit Shah on five occasions. In all five instances, the Commission has chosen not to pass an order, thereby pre-empting the opportunity for dissent to be recorded.
