In a significant crackdown on electoral malpractices, the Election Commission of India (ECI) has seized a record Rs 4,650 crore in cash, drugs, and other inducements ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. This amount surpasses the total seizures made during the entire 2019 Lok Sabha elections. The ECI reported that these seizures have been accumulating at a rate of Rs 100 crore per day since March 1, with drugs constituting 45% of the total seizures. This operation marks the highest-ever seizures recorded in the 75-year history of Lok Sabha elections in India.
