In a sharp statement, Goa's political leader Sawant has accused the Congress party of targeting the Election Commission of India (ECI) following recent electoral setbacks.
After a series of disappointing results in recent elections, Goa's political figure Sawant has publicly accused the Congress party of targeting the Election Commission of India (ECI).\n\nHe said that the party has been attempting to undermine the commission’s authority and influence its operations.\n\nThe allegations come amid growing concerns over the independence of the ECI in the run‑up to the national polls.\n\nNo official response has yet been issued by the ECI, and the statement is likely to intensify the already tense political atmosphere in the state.
