If EC does not make the grade on the forthcoming May 24th. hearing before the court (sit all night if necessary) that would be a decisive moment in the history of the world’s largest democracy.
EC itself was born in sin. The appointment process was tailored to ensure that a BJP choice prevails.
The conduct of EC smacks of strong BJP bias and remote control. EC has the chance to show otherwise at the hearing by answering to questions posed by the apex count without equivocation.
Mr. Quereshi has commented on the matter and of that the apex court can take judicial notice as the time is short for inviting amicus intervention.
There are but a few days before the votes get counted. It would take all the wisdom of Solomon for the apex court to prescribe the cure.
The current EC needs to be totally dismantled and replaced so that it can be what it was in the not too distant a past.
