The EC’s proximity to Congress is too close for their comfort
BJP General Secretary Arun Jaitley, who’s been leading the charge, says that Chawla’s proximity to the Congress is too close for comfort. “He is shackled, he can’t function independently, detachedly,” he scoffed, adding, “this is setting a terrible precedent. Now all will be tempted to pack the EC with favourites.” (The BJP is demanding Chawla’s dismissal under Article 324(5) of the constitution) Yet, how justified is the demand? Says constitutional expert, Rajiv Dhawan, “The BJP has no business asking for someone’s removal just because it disapproves of him. Every time the Congress was in a crisis, it reacted by amending the constitution. It’s unholy!’’
For amending the constitution, a party needs two-thirds majority in Parliament. And with the Left continuing to waver, this is a Herculean task for the Congress. The BJP fears that by the time the next Lok Sabha polls are held, Gopalaswami will have been succeeded by “pro-Congress” Chawla.
