    BJP Leaders Defend Election Commission Against Congress Criticism

    BJP leaders, including Smriti Irani, have criticized the Congress party for attacking the Election Commission (EC) and other institutions. They argue that the Congress is trying to shift blame for its electoral defeats rather than introspecting on its own performance. The BJP leaders assert that the EC is a constitutional body that functions independently and has been admired globally for strengthening India's democratic framework. They question why the Congress wants to restore the names of deceased voters and maintain duplicates on the electoral rolls. The BJP also accuses the Congress of undermining India's constitutional institutions and trying to create distrust among the people.
