  "account": "In a move following the recent appointment of DEC Prakash Rajpurohit, the Election Commission has reorganized work among its deputy election commissioners and directors-general. DEC Prakash Rajpurohit's division will now oversee the IT/ICT and grievance/PGRS divisions. Previously, these files were routed through senior DEC Pawan Kumar Sharma. DEC Seema Khanna, who heads the division managing the ECINet portal and application, will now have the responsibility of uploading all related files. This change in responsibility was initially carried out by senior DEC Maneesh Garg, and before that, DEC Sanjay Kumar. However, these reallocation orders were never implemented after objections raised by election commissioners S S Sandhu and Vivek Joshi, as recorded in the affidavit filed in the Supreme Court.",
