The Election Commission has rejected Congress leader Jairam Ramesh’s request for more time to provide evidence supporting his claim that Union Minister Amit Shah intimidated 150 district magistrates ahead of vote counting. Ramesh had alleged that Shah called the officials to influence the process, but the Commission stated no complaints were received from the district magistrates. Ramesh must respond with evidence by 7 pm today. Failure to do so will lead to presumed dismissal of the allegations and potential action against Ramesh. The Commission emphasized the seriousness of the claims and their impact on the electoral process.
