Gujarat Congress chief alleges ECI is not independent

Ahmedabad: Gujarat Congress chief Jagdish Thakor today alleged that the Election Commission of India (ECI) is biased and favoring a political party. He said ECI will declared the dates of Gujarat elections only after receiving a letter recommending same from the ruling party. Thakor said ECI is not independent.
