ECI reports seven-fold rise in seized election freebies compared to 2018
The Election Commission of India has reported a seven-fold increase in the value of seizures of cash, liquor, drugs, and other potential inducements in the five poll-going states, reaching Rs 1760 crore. Rajasthan and Telangana account for nearly three-fourths of the total value of seizures, with Telangana leading the way with seizures worth Rs 659 crore. The figures are expected to increase further as polling in these states is yet to take place. The Election Commission attributes the increase in seizures to its commitment to ensuring free and fair elections.
