KTR urges apex court to fix anomalies in EC functioning

Working president of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) K.T. Rama Rao has raised questions over the functioning of the Election Commission of India amid the reported objections raised by two of the three Election Commissioners over decisions relating to voter registration, deletion and restoration.

Referring to the reported differences within the three-member Election Commission, he questioned the principle of majority decision-making. “Two out of three is a majority, or at least it used to be. Looks like the definition is changing now,” he said in a statement on Thursday. The fact that two of the three Election Commissioners were repeatedly raising objections warranted scrutiny of the functioning of the poll panel.
