Former CEC S.Y. Quraishi Claims West Bengal Elections Were Not Legally Valid

Former Chief Election Commissioner S.Y. Quraishi alleged that the West Bengal elections lacked legal validity and urged the Supreme Court to make a correct decision.

Mr. Quraishi stated that ECI decisions require a majority consensus, criticizing the special intensive revision process for backdoor citizenship checks.

Minister Dilip Ghosh responded that public acceptance of the government is necessary, noting that questioning may stem from undesirable electoral outcomes.
