Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has launched a sharp criticism against the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC). In a recent statement, he directly targeted the election chief, suggesting that the current political leadership owes its position to the CEC's actions.
Gandhi stated that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah would not be in power without the CEC. This remark highlights the ongoing political friction between the opposition and the election administration regarding the conduct of recent polls.
