Completely false, malicious…” Ex-CEC Quarishi rejects US funding claims on “voter turnout in India

Ex-poll body chief Quraishi denies US funding claim for voter turnout in India
Former CEC SY Quraishi rejected DOGE's claim of granting funds for boosting voter turnout in India and termed the reports baseless.
Former Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) of India SY Quraishi refuted reports that the United States provides funding for boosting voter turnout in India and termed the reports "completely false and malicious". His reaction came after Elon Musk-led Department Of Government Efficiency (DOGE) announced on Sunday that it is cancelling $21 million grant to India for "voter turnout".

“The report in a section of Media about an MoU by ECI in 2012 when I was CEC, for funding of a certain million dollars by a US agency for raising voter turnout in India does not have an iota of fact," the former CEC said in a post on X.

SY Quraishi served as 17th Chief Election Commissioner of India from 30 July 2010 to 10 June 2012.
