Kolhapur : Congress Legislative Council group leader Satej Patil has accused the Election Commission of compromising its independence, claiming it has “become a puppet of the ruling BJP” in recent years. Patil said the recent revelation of unprecedented internal discord has exposed “utter chaos and lack of transparency” within the poll body While earlier there were only suspicions of “match-fixing” in favour of the saffron party. “The large-scale deletion of voters under the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise constitutes a serious threat to democratic processes,” he said.
Congress city president Pravin Kesarkar, leader of opposition in KMC Rajesh Latkar, group leader Indrajit Bondre, Zilla Parishad leader of opposition Eknath Patil, KMC corporators Rahul Mane, Durvas Kadam, Swati Yevaluje, Deepali Ghatge, Swati Kamble and other party workers were also present on the occasion.
