"Surprised": Mallikarjun Kharge On Poll Body's Response To His INDIA Bloc Letter | Read
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Saturday said it is surprising that the Election Commission chose to respond to a letter he wrote to INDIA bloc leaders but ignored several other complaints he raised directly to it.
In a letter addressed to the CEC and other election commissioners, he said the poll panel is showing no urgency in dealing with "blatantly communal and casteist" statements being made by leaders of the ruling party and this is puzzling.
In response to the letter written by Mr Kharge to INDIA bloc leaders expressing concerns over Election Commission's delay in releasing voter turnout figures for first two phases of polls, the Commission had on Friday called it an attempt to push a biased narrative under the guise of seeking clarifications.
