Hyderabad: BRS working president KT Rama Rao has urged the Supreme Court to take suo motu cognisance of the concerns surrounding the functioning of the Election Commission of India. He warned that the ECI is facing a severe crisis of confidence.Speaking to the media at Telangana Bhavan on Wednesday, KTR said, “ECI is a constitutional body. We cannot believe any other agency to investigate other than the Supreme Court. The SC needs to take cognisance of what former election commissioners are saying and launch a suo motu inquiry into the matter. Hopefully, some answers will come out and the truth will prevail.”Recalling his earlier engagement with the commission, he shared that he had led a party delegation to New Delhi to meet with the three election commissioners to raise serious apprehensions regarding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process. He said that concerns were formally submitted during the Bihar elections as well, pressing the poll body to address rumours, clarify ambiguities, and bring complete transparency to the revision process.The BRS working president stressed that only a top-court-monitored inquiry can restore public trust and protect the core tenets of Indian democracy.
