AMIT SHAH New Delhi; The Election Commission has sent a letter to Congress leader Jairam Ramesh seeking clarification on one of his statements, in which he claimed that the outgoing Home Minister talks to 150 Collectors (DMs) over the phone.
The Commission has sent a notice to Ramesh and asked him to send his reply with proof of his statements, because with the announcement of elections, the Model Code of Conduct comes into force and the entire administration of the country comes to the Commission to conduct free and fair elections. The District Magistrate and other senior officials of the district work under the direction of the Commission as Returning Officer. Therefore, you will have to tell what is the basis of this information and this public post!
The Commission has written to Jairam Ramesh that you are a very senior and experienced leader of a national party. You should send your reply to the Commission by 7 pm on June 2 with all the facts, so that appropriate legal action can be ensured.
In fact, on June 1, Jairam Ramesh posted on X that the outgoing government is so worried that before the counting of votes, the Home Minister of the government is contacting the District Magistrates and Collectors of all the districts over the phone. The Prime Minister, Home Minister and BJP are apprehensive about the people’s decision in the elections. In the counting of votes, BJP, PM and Home Minister will lose and go out of power while ‘India’ block will win. Therefore, the District Magistrate and other officials should not come under their pressure. They are under everyone’s watch, everyone’s eyes are on them.
