He said that ECI is hand in glove with the ruling BJP and has eroded the creditability of the elections and ECI in the country.
He alleged that ECI has been behaving as the frontal wing of the BJP these days. Karra said that right to vote and the conduct of free, fair and transparent elections is the most precious right of every citizen in a democracy, which has been hijacked by the ruling BJP in this country.
Every citizen must rise to the occasion to safeguard this precious right otherwise the democracy will have no meaning.
