Jaipur, Nov 29: Praising Election Commission for conducting elections "strictly in free and fair manner", BJP today said the commission was doing a "good work" under Chief Election Commissioner J M Lyngdoh. "Although sometimes we have also been on receiving end but we are satisfied that the commission was conducting the polls under the leadership of Lyngdoh strictly in free and fair manner," BJP general secretary Pramod Mahajan told reporters here.
When asked about the strict guidelines of EC, Mahajan said, "No player is ever happy by an LBW decision of an umpire,” and the commission was conducting its job efficiently.
We may find some difficulties because of our old habits but decisions taken by EC to reduce election expenditure and bringing about other reforms should be welcomed, he said.
On election advertisements on electronic media, Mahajan said he was personally against it and would be raising this issue in his party too.
