Who is Seema Khanna? What's her link to CJP vs Gyanesh Kumar row and Rahul Gandhi’s ‘lady hiding’ remark
Gyanesh Kumar vs CJP: As Rahul Gandhi did not explicitly name the “lady”, many on social media wondered who the woman was. “Who is the lady Rahul Gandhi is referring to that is hiding in Dehradun? [sic],” one social media user asked.
Rahul Gandhi recently made headlines with his remark about a "lady hiding in Dehradun" during a press conference, which has led to speculation about who he was referring to. While several social media users pointed to Election Commission officer Seema Khanna as a potential target, there is no confirmed link between the two. Seema Khanna, who is the Director General of the IT department in the Election Commission of India, has been under scrutiny due to her role in overseeing the digital and technology systems of the Commission.
Her work has been a point of contention amid the controversy surrounding the functioning of electoral roll software and the powers of Electoral Registration Officers (EROs).
