Congress demands probe into allegation that BJYM linked company hired by SEC CEO

Mumbai, July 24 (UNI) Maharashtra Congress on Friday demanded a thorough probe into allegations that the State Election Commission (SEC) had hired a Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) party activist’s social media company to manage the Chief Electoral Officer’s Facebook page during the Oct. 2019 assembly elections.
“This is shocking and a blow to democracy… The company which was hired by the SEC CEO belongs to a BJYM activist who is the national convenor of the IT Cell of the Bharatiya Janata Party. It was expected that the SEC should work as an impartial body, but this revelation has hit the very foundation of our democracy,” said senior Congress leader and ex-chief minister Prithviraj Chavan.
Elaborating, he said that the SEC CEO had launched his FB page called ‘Chief Electoral Officer Maharashtra’ to create awareness regarding the elections, and many advertisements were given pertaining to the state assembly elections then.
