Congress leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda alleges BJP‑EC nexus

Senior Congress figure Bhupinder Singh Hooda publicly alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party enjoys a close relationship with the Election Commission, a claim he said undermines the impartiality of the electoral process.
He asserted that such a nexus, if real, could compromise the fairness of upcoming elections and erode public confidence in democratic institutions.
The remarks were reported by The Times of India, which noted that Hooda's comments add to ongoing political debate over the independence of the Election Commission.
No official response from the BJP or the Election Commission has been recorded at the time of reporting.
