Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
The Chief Election Commissioner is not accountable to the President of India. If it happens, then the Election Commission’s independence and transparency will come into the area of trueness or falseness, and people’s belief in its functioning and working process will dwindle. So, making and denoting the Election Commission as an independent body should not be answerable to the government and the president. The chief election commissioner is not accountable to the president, and the relationship between the president and the chief election commissioner depends on mutual respect and trust. Hence the correct statement would be, The Chief Election Commissioner is not answerable to the president.
