Change of guard at Election commission and Chawla starts

Mr. Naveen Chawla is all set to take over as chief election commissioner of India. 20th April is the date on which he will take over, and I am not aware of the status for today as I believe Mr. Gopalaswamy is already retired. The first news I have seen after this change of guard were of EC blocking BJP's video for ad on black money and Sonia being cleared of the Belgian award controversy and with that I can see an end of neutral Election commission of India.

With Sonia Loyolist Naveen Chwala at the helm of affairs in EC, these two events might turn out be just an start. With the biased media (one might recall their different views of media about Varun Gandhi and N. Srinivasan), even the previous CEC had to take some decisions which can't be termed neutral. Now with Mr. Chawla, who is a well known congress loyal, we might just see EC working in tandem with strictly anti BJP Indian Media.

We must recall that Gopalaswamy put the specific instance of Belgian award controversy as a proof of biased nature of Chawla and Chawla gets that done as his first task. Coming to the issue of black money, I can understand the Congress's attitude with the top leadership relying mainly on swiss bank. The reasoning given by them sounds ridicules for their stance and then now Election commission says that showing a foreigner taking a bag from Indian puts the things in bad taste. I fail to understand, why such a well known fact can be considered a thing in bad taste, unless the foreigner in the video was a look alike of Quatrochi ( whose accounts were cleared by CBI during a hidden visit of Indian Law minster to london)
