Congress attacks ECI affidavit to Supreme Court
In short
Congress said the Election Commission of India was misleading in its affidavit to the Supreme Court over Form 6. Jairam Ramesh pointed to differences in what the ECI said and what was later shown about its decision-making.
The issue matters because it could raise legal questions for the Election Commission and the Chief Election Commissioner. The reporting does not say how the Supreme Court will rule.
What the reporting says

Party spokesperson Jairam Ramesh said the ECI claimed unanimity in decision-making while media allegations of malpractice were also being raised.
