Keeping Kerala Rajya Sabha Polls On Hold "Suspicious": Sitaram Yechury
NDTV
The Election Commission had recently decided to put the elections to three Rajya Sabha seats on hold after the Centre flagged some issues.
Senior CPI(M) leader Sitaram Yechury questioned the Election Commission's (EC) decision to keep in abeyance the elections to fill three Rajya Sabha seats from Kerala, and called it "unconstitutional." Mr Yechury, who reached Kerala to campaign for the Left parties, said the EC's move amounts to "denial of representation" to Kerala in the Council of States. The EC had recently decided to put the elections to three Rajya Sabha seats on hold after the Centre flagged some issues. Targetting the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre, he said it is known for "misusing" central agencies and in Kerala they are being used "unscrupulously and in a targeted manner".
He took to X to share his distress, describing the situation as "painful to watch" especially since he was in the US and unable to personally intervene.
