After Rahul Gandhi questioned the role of the Election Commission, BJP’s Anurag Thakur hit back sharply. Critics say the government is hiding behind institutions instead of answering the real issues.

The latest clash between the Congress and BJP has once again raised questions about the credibility of the Election Commission. Instead of addressing Rahul Gandhi’s concerns about the EC and CEC Gyanesh Kumar, BJP leader Anurag Thakur chose to attack the opposition in a press conference. Critics argue that the government is more focused on silencing voices than proving transparency.

At a time when people expect accountability, the ruling party seems to be using institutions like the Election Commission as a political shield. Rather than launching personal attacks, what the country truly needs is a clear assurance that democratic systems are free from influence. Without such clarity, public trust in the election process risks further decline.
