ECI should give details of decisions taken and whether they had majority backing: former Election Commissioners

Amid a controversy over an "exposé” claiming that decisions were taken without the concurrence of two Election Commissioners, former Election Commissioners said the poll body should immediately disclose details of decisions taken and whether they were unanimous or passed by a majority.

According to an investigative report by The Indian Express , two of the three Election Commissioners, Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi, formally recorded objections at least 14 times over ten months, saying major decisions were being made in the name of the full Election Commission without their knowledge. They described several of these decisions as “unauthorised and illegal”.
