Delhi elections: EC calls out pressure tactics by parties to malign commission's image, vows restraint in polls

Ahead of elections in the national capital, Election Commission of India has called out political parties in Delhi for using pressure tactics to malign poll panel's image.

"The 3-member Commission collectively noted repeated deliberate pressure tactics to malign ECI in Delhi Elections, as if it is a single member body & decided to have constitutional restraint, absorbing such outbursts with sagacity, stoically & not to be swayed by such insinuations," said EC in a post on X.

Furthermore, the poll panel said "Action on issues raised by political parties & candidates are taken in each instance by over 1.5 lakh officials in #DelhiAssemblyElection2025 who are functioning within established legal framework, robust processes & SoPs ensuring fair play & non partisan conduct."
