‘EC powers like a nuclear bomb’: Inside India’s 2024 LS polls | Let’s Talk About

#loksabhaelection2024 Tune in: https://www.newslaundry.com/2024/05/2... Earlier this month, the Election Commission asked social media giant X to take down an animated video by the BJP’s official handle, which showed Muslims as a community of invaders. The video said the “Congress will snatch wealth” from “non-Muslims” to “distribute it” to its “favourite community” of “invaders”. In this special episode of Let’s Talk About, host Abhinandan Sekhri speaks to SY Quraishi, former chief election commissioner of India, about the election commission’s powers and limitations, misconduct during polls, delays in the release of voter data, EVMs and the underbelly of Indian polls. Asked why the EC had to tell X to take down the ad and not the BJP, Quraishi, who has also authored India’s Experiment With Democracy and An Undocumented Wonder: The Great Indian Election, said the poll panel has “immense powers” under the constitution. And that it wasn’t the first time the EC used them to take action over unusual instances. Watch. Avail our press freedom offer: https://pages.razorpay.com/press-free...
