Deeply honoured to win the International Press Institute-India Award 2020. It recognises my coverage of the LS Polls 2019 revealing the divide within the Election Commission in its response to complaints alleging poll code violations by PM Narendra Modi & Amit Shah
#Thread
On the eve of the last phase of LS polls 2019, the EC was split wide open.

Lavasa refused to attend meetings of the Commission unless his (opposing) views on alleged MCC violations were recorded in the orders. He also forced EC to reconsider its clean chit to PMO and NITI Aayog
The newsbreaks in @IndianExpress were followed up by all major newspapers and news channels.
