Tamil Nadu Minister Criticizes Election Commission for Inefficiency

A Tamil Nadu minister, Palanivel Thiagarajan, is not happy with how the Election Commission (EC) is doing its job.

He says they are slow and don't seem fair, comparing their work now to how things were in 2004, when things were done much faster despite having fewer resources.

He brings up concerns about missing votes in an election and points out how the government seems to be bending rules, like increasing wages under the Model Code of Conduct.

Thiagarajan thinks all of this shows the EC isn't doing a good job and is hurting democracy.
