NEW DELHI: Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Monday lauded the Election Commission for holding polls that have earned global accolades, saying there will always be an urge to criticise it to get the best of it.
He also said the independence of the poll panel is never a casualty as the bureaucracy is so trained and the election machinery so greased and fuelled.
His remarks came against the backdrop of the opposition’s attacks on EC over alleged discrepancies in electoral rolls, allegations of fudges voter turnout data and the efficacy of electronic voting machines.
