The Indian National Congress has stated that the Election Commission's chief election commissioner, Gyanesh Kumar, cannot be saved and that the commission’s IT infrastructure urgently needs a comprehensive overhaul.
The Indian National Congress has publicly criticized the Election Commission of India (ECI), claiming that the commission’s chief election commissioner, Gyanesh Kumar, is beyond recovery.
The party’s statement, released by a senior Congress leader, also called for an immediate and thorough revamp of the ECI’s IT systems, citing persistent technical glitches that have plagued the commission’s operations.
The criticism comes amid growing concerns over the ECI’s digital infrastructure, which has faced scrutiny for delays and security lapses during recent electoral processes.
Congress officials argue that without a robust IT framework, the commission’s ability to conduct free and fair elections could be compromised.
The party’s remarks have sparked debate among political analysts, who weigh the feasibility of such sweeping reforms within the commission’s existing budgetary and administrative constraints.
