Shivraj Singh Chouhan slams Congress for questioning Election Commission, urging paper ballots

Union minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan accused the Congress of disrespecting the public mandate by challenging the Election Commission and calling for ballot-paper voting.

Shivraj Singh Chouhan, a senior member of the ruling party, said the Congress party has shown contempt for democracy after recent electoral losses. He criticized the opposition for questioning the Election Commission’s authority and for demanding a return to paper-based voting. Chouhan described these actions as reflecting a deep-seated attitude within the party’s DNA. The remarks were made in New Delhi during a press briefing. He framed the issue as a fundamental challenge to the legitimacy of the electoral process.

Why it matters

The critique underscores rising partisan disputes over electoral integrity and could shape future voting reforms.
