In a message to the officials managing the elections in the state, Kumar on Monday said the Election Commission is committed to conducting elections that are “free of fear, violence, intimidation and inducements”, underscoring a zero-tolerance approach towards electoral malpractices.
“No employee of the State Government, local bodies or autonomous bodies would be allowed to influence the electoral process in any manner,” CEC Kumar said.
