BJP says communication between election officials reflects functioning democracy

India’s Bharatiya Janata Party has rejected the Opposition’s criticism of the Special Intensive Revision process, saying communication between the Chief Election Commissioner and election commissioners reflects a functioning democracy. The Hindu reported that the BJP defended the process while responding to allegations raised by opposition parties. The party also said the Supreme Court had upheld the legal validity of the Special Intensive Revision multiple times.

The supplied material did not provide details of the court’s orders or specify the objections made by the Opposition. It also did not identify the officials involved in the communication, describe the exchanges, or state where or when the BJP made its remarks. The report’s available information is limited to the party’s defence of the process and its assertion that the Supreme Court had repeatedly recognised its legality.
