The government did not insist on passing this bill, introduced in the monsoon session, in the special session of Parliament amid opposition from the opposition and former Chief Election Commissioners. Through this bill, the government wants to bring the status of the Chief Election Commissioner and Election Commissioners at par with that of the Cabinet Secretary. At present he has the status equivalent to a judge of the Supreme Court.
