Randeep Singh Surjewala told Election Commission of India

Dear ECI,

1. In Gujarat, BJP IT Cell Head tweeted election dates even before ECI.

2. ECI delinked Gujarat elections from Himachal to enable PM Modi to make a slew of announcements.

3. ECI again deferred PC to enable PM Modi to do the same in Rajasthan

Is BJP the ‘Super EC’?

When EC went to Raipur,Congress suggested single-phase election but BJP suggested 2-phase election.This decision(2-phase election in state)has been taken to allow misuse of power :PL Punia,Chhattisgarh Congress in-charge.

Unfortunate that Election Commission postponed announcement of election dates in 5 states only to enable Modi to address his public meeting in Ajmer, Rajasthan. Very sad.
