Ramesh slams EC's decision on gas price

New Delhi: Union Minister Jairam Ramesh today hit out at the Election Commission for asking the government to defer notifying new gas price from April 1, saying the poll panel cannot sit in judgement on

The Minister also took a dig at the top officials in the Constitutional bodies like Election Commission, CAG and CVC for their approach on execuive decisions.
“...This is the problem with our constitutional bodies.  

Whether it is the CAG, CVC or the Election Commission, they are perfectly normal when they are working in the government.  

The moment they become members of the body, they suddenly think their service as God's gift to humanity,” he said.

Ramesh, however, said that the Election Commission is a “reasonable body” and he had got their permission to implement government programmes whenever he approached them.
