In a heated exchange during the ongoing Lok Sabha debate on electoral reforms, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has strongly rebutted Rahul Gandhi’s recent allegations regarding the appointment process of Election Commissioners. The Congress leader had questioned why the Chief Justice of India (CJI) was removed from the committee responsible for appointing Election Commissioners, implying undue political interference and control by the RSS over key institutions. BJP, however, has countered Gandhi’s statements by highlighting inconsistencies and pointing to the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government’s past practices.
