Lashing out at the Election Commission, the Congress Thursday asked it to consult health experts, seek data on Covid-19 from the government and take an independent decision on holding elections in five states rather than acting like a "toothless tiger".
Taking exception to Chief Election Commissioner Sushil Chandra's remarks in Lucknow that all political parties favoured holding elections on time following all Covid protocols, Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala said the details about the Covid situation was with the Modi government and not with political parties.
