Election Commission Demands NCP Submit Constitution Amendments
The Election Commission of India sent a letter to Sunetra Pawar, the new leader of the Nationalist Congress Party, asking her to send papers about changes she made to the party’s rules.
The party said it only changed one rule, but the Commission thinks it changed more.
The Commission wants copies of the papers that show all the changes.
Sunetra became the party leader after her husband died in a plane crash.
The Commission wants the documents so it can check everything is correct.
