CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Saturday said the outcome of the Bihar Assembly election, though decisive, cannot erase the "misdeeds and reckless actions" of the Election Commission of India (ECI).
In a strongly worded statement posted on X, he asserted that the credibility of the poll body has hit an unprecedented low and stressed the need for a more transparent and impartial institution that can inspire confidence across the political spectrum.
Stalin, who is also the DMK chief, said the Bihar result, which delivered a clear victory for veteran leader Nitish Kumar, carries important lessons for political parties and the larger democratic process.
While congratulating the Bihar Chief Minister-designate for his emphatic win, he also commended RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav for "a tireless and spirited campaign" that energised voters, particularly the youth.
