'Not swayed by insinuations': EC writes on X day after Arvind Kejriwal's 'retirement' attack on CEC Rajiv Kumar

The Election Commission on Tuesday took cognizance of “repeated deliberate pressure tactics to malign ECI”, saying it will not be swayed by “such insinuations”. The poll panel's post on X came a day after Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal accused Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar of having greed for post-retirement appointment.

"The 3-member Commission collectively noted repeated deliberate pressure tactics to malign ECI in the 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," the Election Commission wrote on X, without naming AAP or Kejriwal.
