New Delhi, Sep 9
The ECI on Tuesday decided to step up scrutiny of applicants seeking registration of their associations as a political party and issued instructions for an intensified verification of the antecedents of the founding members, an official said.
The action brought down the number of listed RUPPs from 2,854 to 2,520.
The meeting enabled the party to put forward its suggestions and concerns before the Commission.
The ECI said that such interactions reflect its broader vision of fostering constructive dialogue with all stakeholders in line with the existing legal framework.
