Political row erupts over India's Chief Election Commissioner

Original: भारत के मुख्य चुनाव आयुक्त

A dispute over the Chief Election Commissioner of India is generating political heat. Union minister Piyush Goyal criticised Rahul Gandhi, saying the Congress party had once fielded an election commissioner as a candidate and later made him a governor. In Bilaspur's Swarghat, Congress workers burned an effigy of the Chief Election Commissioner, reflecting rising tensions between the opposition and the poll body.

Why now: Congress accusations against the Chief Election Commissioner have triggered strong responses from BJP leaders and protests, keeping the story trending in India.
