Because the rest of India is tired of a particular set of North-westerners (including those esconsed in North and West Indian metros) manipulating elections. We hark back to the time of great CECs like T. N. Seshan.
We have no faith any more in any government institutions from RBI to the EC to CBI and we have learnt the real purpose of the cruel demonetization trick perpetrated on the people and seen how the credit for government programmes run by various ministries (with our money or multilateral agency FIs like World Bank, the Swacch Bharat mission, for instance) is taken solely by the PM, his face emblazoned above every ad on every bus, Metro rail and public hoarding.
Sorry about that, but it's a view I share with many, and it's not against a party but a clique, supported by the billionaires of India, also from the same Western states.

Dear All Learned fellow-beings
I was surprised by the views narrated in this article.
What do you mean by ? : Non-North/West Indian States? Means you seems pre-biased to have such views - region wise?
I strongly condem such views!

All of you are right to say that Election Commission was weak.But we
can not allege motive for that.
Now the Hon'ble S C has awaken the E C .There after the E C has taken
action against all irrespective of
part affiliations.Some complaints are still pending as reply of the
party is awaited.
Let us wait .Constitutional Intuitions be not denigrated.

Why would he censure any statements made to inflame passions before the elections? He only warned Yogi 'to be careful' when he made incendiary and communal utterances recently.

This was a gross violation of EC norms and rules. It is well known that voting can be manipulated by certain radio frequencies from vehicles in the vicinity of polling booths and also that results can be altered to give a preferred party an advantage over others AFTER votes are polled and before results are to be announced.

>> Judiciary has been able to use it's inherent powers due to the massive support that it gets from the people for it's attempts to enforce rule of law and discipline.

>> In the same way, the Election Commission would get massive support from the people if it would act strongly and meet it's objective of conducting free and fair elections by ruthlessly punishing the wrong doers.

>> Former Chief Election Commissioner T.N.Seshan attempted to use his inherent powers and he is praised even today by the people. Those who preceded him and succeeded him do not seem to emulate his example.
>>
>> Today, Election Commission has become weak because Election Commissioners have become weak. The Election Commission has allowed itself to become a punching bag for the reckless politicians. This is a setback for electoral democracy in India which should not be allowed to continue.
