00:00And the latest coming in from Kerala. Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi-Wadra has said that they, which means the BJP,
00:07are protecting the election commissioner.
00:09But more importantly, they are protecting their leadership.
00:12It is out of the question for the election commissioner to be indulging in such serious illegalities without the full
00:18support of the leadership.
00:19If an election commissioner is committing such a serious crime against democracy, it is practically impossible and he is doing
00:26it without the full support of the leadership.
00:28Priyanka Gandhi-Wadra has lashed out at the BJP. She said that BJP is shielding the election commissioner.
00:34She has also said that BJP is protecting its leadership.
00:37Priyanka Gandhi-Wadra has said that the election commission had support of the BJP leadership and it is impossible for
00:44the election commission to act without the support of the ruling party.
00:49Priyanka Gandhi has alleged that the election commission acted with BJP leadership's support.
00:57The India alliance is very clear.
01:00Every single leader of the alliance, every single party is in full agreement that what is going on is absolutely
01:06illegal.
01:07It is anti-constitutional.
01:08I strongly believe that the legal safeguards provided to the election commissioner, which were instituted by this government, by the
01:18BJP government, to protect him no matter what he does.
01:21Those safeguards need to be removed.
01:24If anybody is committing illegal acts against this nation, against our constitution, against India, they need to be tried for
01:35the criminal actions that they are involved in.
01:37This is treason and he needs to be tried for treason.
01:41Let me take this to my colleague Anmol Bali joining us on the broadcast.
01:45Anmol, the opposition, especially the Congress, has been trying to push how the BJP and the election commission have been
01:52colluding.
01:53And it is not possible for the election commission to function in the manner that they are unless the two
01:59are hand in glove.
02:02Suwesha, now we are seeing that Congress Party has intensified their attack against the chief election commissioner, Gyanesh Kumar.
02:08We have recently seen that Congress Party has protested both on the ground and as well as they have protested
02:14in the social media.
02:14Also, we have seen a press conference by leader of opposition, Rahul Gandhi.
02:17And now, Member of Parliament, Priyanka Gandhi, has accused election commission of treason.
02:23And she has also said that this could not take place without the permission of the Bharatiya Janata Party.
02:28And she clearly said that the election commission is aiding BJP in the elections.
02:33And now we will see that on 30th September, India alliance parties, opposition parties like Congress Party, even Tithinamul Congress
02:43and other regional parties are expected to meet on 30th September to discuss their further roadmap.
02:48But yeah, we are seeing that the Congress Party has intensified their attacks against the chief election commissioner, election commission
02:55and the BJP on the issue of Indian Express story.
03:00Anmul, I want to thank you for getting us those details.
