"There is lack of trust in ECI among public": Shiv Sena UBT leader Priyanka Chaturvedi

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 17 (ANI): Shiv Sena UBT MP Priyanka Chaturvedi on Sunday said that there is a lack of trust in the Election Commission of India among people.
"Day by day, new people's names are being removed and added. Now they have been exposed. We have seen their press conference, and the words they chose are very unfortunate. Today, there is a lack of trust in the Election Commission among the public. The public will surely ask you (Election Commission) why you are not winning their trust. You (Election Commission) are only working to win the trust of the BJP," Chaturvedi told ANI.
Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar on Sunday assured that the officials of the Election Commission of India are working towards making Special Intensive Revision in Bihar a "huge success".
Gyanesh Kumar mentioned that the doors of the Election Commission are always open to everyone, and the poll body is working together with everyone in a "transparent" manner.
This comes amid heavy criticism of the ECI by the opposition parties over the recent Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in the poll-bound state of Bihar.
"The truth is that step by step all the stakeholders are committed, trying and working hard to make the SIR of Bihar a complete success. When more than seven crore voters of Bihar are standing with the Election Commission, then neither can any question mark be raised on the credibility of the Election Commission nor on the credibility of the voters," CEC Gyanesh Kumar said in a media briefing in the national capital.
He informed that 1.6 lakh Booth Level Agents (BLA) have prepared the draft voter list in Bihar and till now, the voters have submitted a total of 28,370 claims and objections. (ANI)
