There's a new #electioncommissioner in town! His name is #AnupChandraPandey and his appointment last week caused a bit of a stir.
Pandey previously served as chief secretary to #YogiAdityanath, the current chief minister of #UttarPradesh. And this state is heading towards an election in March next year. This brings up a few questions about the new appointment and the role of an election commissioner, especially during a high-stakes #election.
So, who is Anup Chandra Pandey? How was he appointed and what will he do during election season? Meghnad S explains.
