“Election commission is an independent authority. The commission behaved like a agent of the government in the past. We request the new SEC not to try to be a puppet of the government. Your predecessor tried to do that and SC has removed him” GFP reminded the SEC.
“We hope that the SEC has not come on a pleasure jaunt and we expect him to uphold the true spirit of democracy and the Constitution of India. He may seek legal advice from the ECI over this” Durgadas said.
