New Delhi, Aug 28 (UNI) Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, along with Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi, today held a meeting with a delegation from the Communist Party of India (CPI) led by its general secretary, D Raja, here.
The meeting is part of the Election Commission of India’s (ECI) ongoing initiative to engage with presidents and senior representatives of national and state political parties, an Election Commission statement said.
