EC works in ‘impartial' way: Ex-poll body chief Rawat
Indore, Aug 18 (PTI) Former Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) O P Rawat has called the Election Commission 'impartial" and welcomed its press conference to clear the air over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar. Declining to comment on the controversy over Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi's allegations of 'vote theft", Rawat said he had not heard the commission's response during the press conference on Sunday. In his first press conference after Gandhi levelled allegations of 'vote chori" in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls and several opposition leaders flagged issues about SIR in Bihar, CEC Gyanesh Kumar on Sunday asked the Congress MP to either apologise or back his claims with a signed affidavit as required under electoral rules. Rawat stressed the poll panel functions in an 'impartial" way. 'The Election Commission's press conference should be welcomed because it is a good step to clear public doubts regarding the SIR process (in Bihar) and other issues," Rawat told PTI in Indore. To another question, he said the final electoral rolls are already made public, so the demand to release them again is not unreasonable. 'Getting one's name enrolled in the electoral roll strengthens democracy. Privacy is not an issue here. It arises only when personal details of voters are shared with individuals having vested interests," he noted. Asked about allegations of bogus voting, Rawat said the possibility of a person voting more than once in an election is 'negligible" because of strict verification of documents at polling stations and the application of indelible ink on an elector's finger before casting vote.

Amid NDA's Consensus Push, Rajnath Singh Dials Kharge Seeking Oppn Backing For VP Nominee
Last Updated: The BJP earlier in the day declared CP Radhakrishnan as its vice-presidential candidate after a meeting of the party's Parliamentary Board Aiming to ensure a consensus and possibly an unopposed election, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday reached out to Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge to seek opposition's backing for the NDA's vice-presidential candidate CP Radhakrishnan, sources said. They added that Singh has been tasked with coordinating the NDA's efforts for the election, while Union Minister Kiren Rijiju will serve as election agent, reported news agency ANI. It is a parliamentary convention for the ruling party or alliance to approach opposition leaders during elections to key constitutional posts such as the President, Vice President, Speaker and Deputy Speaker. The practice is aimed at building consensus for positions that are expected to remain above partisan politics. The BJP earlier in the day declared Radhakrishnan as its nominee after a meeting of the party's Parliamentary Board. Announcing the decision, BJP chief JP Nadda said the alliance would also approach other parties. 'We will talk to the opposition as well. We should also get their support so that together we can ensure an unopposed election for the post of Vice President." 'As we said earlier, we have been in touch with them, and our senior leaders have contacted them earlier as well and even now, we will remain in touch with them, and all our NDA colleagues have supported us. CP Radhakrishnan is our NDA's candidate for Vice President," Nadda added while addressing a conference. Radhakrishnan took charge as Maharashtra's Governor in July 2024, after a brief tenure as Governor of Jharkhand. He has also held additional responsibility for Telangana and Puducherry. A senior BJP leader from Tamil Nadu, he twice represented Coimbatore in the Lok Sabha, served as state party president, and later chaired the Coir Board. He won his first election from Coimbatore in 1998 with a margin of over 1.5 lakh votes. The Election Commission has scheduled the Vice Presidential election for September 9, with both polling and counting to be completed the same day. The deadline for filing nominations is August 21, and candidates will be able to withdraw their papers until August 25. The office fell vacant after Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar stepped down on July 21, the opening day of the Monsoon Session of Parliament, citing health concerns. 'To prioritise health care and abide by medical advice, I hereby resign as the Vice President of India, effective immediately, in accordance with Article 67(a) of the Constitution," Dhankhar said in his resignation letter. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Grand Opposition united show of strength against EC in Bihar
PATNA: The 'Vote Adhikar Yatra' in Bihar was flagged off on Sunday amid a remarkable show of solidarity by the Opposition, with the INDIA bloc top brass in attendence. Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge, MP K C Venugopal, RJD supremo Lalu Prasad, Bihar LoP Tejashwi Yadav, and CPI (M-L) general secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya stood hand-in-hand as they called for ousting the NDA government in the state. Addressing the gathering, the Congress president charged the Election Commission (EC) with acting as an 'agent' of the Modi government, posing a 'threat' to the Constitution and people's right to vote. Kharge also launched a frontal attack on PM Modi, saying, 'He poses a threat to the Constitution and the right to vote enshrined therein. It is the duty of the people to protect these rights by dethroning him.' Tejashwi Yadav launched a scathing attack on the NDA government, saying, 'For quite some time, the Nitish Kumar government has been coming up with announcements which have been copied from our promises. The latest example is the waiving of charges levied on forms for those appearing in competitive exams. But I am sure that the people of Bihar can no longer trust this insincere government and they will vote for a change,' said Yadav.
