BJP leader Sukanta Majumdar in Assam highlighted alleged Congress links of former Chief Election Commissioners and rebutted criticism from opposition parties.
BJP parliamentarian Sukanta Majumdar addressed a gathering in Assam, asserting that several former Chief Election Commissioners had historical ties to the Congress party. He argued that these connections raise questions about the impartiality of past electoral oversight.
Majumdar's remarks came as a response to recent statements from opposition leaders who accused the ruling party of manipulating electoral processes. By pointing to the alleged Congress affiliations of former CECs, he sought to shift the focus onto the opposition's own political lineage.
The leader emphasized that the current administration is committed to transparent elections and urged the opposition to refrain from partisan attacks. No official response from the opposition has been recorded at the time of reporting.
Analysts note that such exchanges are typical in the lead‑up to upcoming state elections, where both sides intensify scrutiny of each other's past and present affiliations.
