After the Election Commission revised electoral rules to exclude CCTV footage from polling booths from the list of public-accessible documents, Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge criticised the Centre and accused the Narendra Modi government of “systematic conspiracy” to undermine the institutional integrity of the Election Commission of India.

Kharge shared a post on X and said, “Modi Govt’s audacious amendment in the Conduct of Election Rules is another assault in its systematic conspiracy to destroy the institutional integrity of the Election Commission of India.”
