Election Commission of India on Saturday published the absolute number of voters for all the constituencies that went to vote in the first 5 phases of the General Elections.
Despite the embarrassment, Rajdeep Sardesai did not refrain from peddling the opposition’s misleading claims. Following this, the former CEC explained to him how exactly the ECI officials operate after the polling concludes.
In a video shared by ANI, Suvendu Adhikari was seen having a heated discussion with officials inside the premises of the State Election Commissioner Office.
The Election Commission of India has now released a detailed note explaining why the reported mismatch of data is alarmist and nothing but malicious rumour mongering.
There has been a lot of discussion regarding voter turnouts in the current 2019 elections. During the initial phases, it was argued that the voter turn-out, in general, was lower than the 2014 levels.
