EC seeks ‘detailed info’ from Jairam Ramesh over his remark that Amit Shah phoned 150 DMs post-voting
==========
The Election Commission of India (EC) has asked Congress leader Jairam Ramesh to provide detailed information about his claim that Home Minister Amit Shah called 150 district magistrates (DMs) after voting for the Lok Sabha polls was completed. The EC has also requested the factual basis of Ramesh's information and the details of his public statement. The EC clarified that during the enforcement of the Model Code of Conduct, all officers are under the deemed deputation of the EC and report directly to it. The EC stated that no DM has reported any undue influence as alleged by Ramesh. The EC has asked Ramesh to share the details of the 150 DMs and the factual basis of his information by June 2, 2024, so that appropriate action can be taken. Ramesh claimed in a social media post that the outgoing home minister had called up DMs and collectors and had spoken to 150 DMs. The EC is yet to receive a reply from Ramesh.
