VS Sampath defends EC

Election commissioner VS Sampath has said that the EC cannot be intimidated. "You might have noticed that this election, the commission has also banned even star campaigners and candidates who were accused of making hate speeches from participating in public speaking. Therefore any reference to 'boldness', we would like to point out that the commission is not afraid of anyone or anything", he said. Prior to this he said that the EC had a cordial meeting with the BJP in relation to its complaints with the returning officer from Varanasi. Sampath also said that he took exception to allegations of 'boldness', and pointed out that the EC was a constitutional body with the powers to fulfill its obligations boldly and fairly.
