Times of India · politics

BJP MP Sanjay Jaiswal has accused the Congress of undermining constitutional institutions by questioning the Election Commission and electoral processes. He cited recent legislative council election results, conducted via ballot papers, to counter the opposition's allegations. Jaiswal highlighted that Congress won only one of 28 council seats contested nationally, arguing this performance contradicts claims against electronic voting machines. He also defended the special intensive revision of electoral rolls, stating it corrected millions of entries and upheld the principle of one vote per eligible citizen.
