In response to the Congress leader’s claim, the Election Commission has sought factual information from Jairam Ramesh, requesting him to provide details of his assertion by Sunday evening. The EC’s letter highlights Ramesh’s post on a social media platform, where he had alleged that ‘the outgoing Home Minister has been calling up DMs/Collectors,’ referring to Amit Shah’s purported communication with 150 district magistrates and collectors. Ramesh’s post raised concerns about potential intimidation and undue influence on these officials ahead of the upcoming vote counting for the Lok Sabha elections. The EC has emphasized the importance of upholding the Constitution and acting in accordance with established norms during the electoral process. The Election Commission’s request for clarification is a significant step in addressing these allegations and ensuring the integrity of the election process.
