New Delhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was aware of the Election Commission's IT division restricting the access of electoral registration officers to the ECINet portal, as pointed out by two election commissioners.
Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh claimed that the complaint of the two election commissioners had gone to the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT), for which the minister responsible is the prime minister himself, and it is likely that the decision was taken at his direction.
