Detailed Solution

The government can remove the incorrect CEC about India's election commission.
India has an independent EC (Election Commission) appointed by President, which conducts elections. It is as independent as the judiciary. The ruling party's government cannot interfere with the work of the EC. If the government fails to follow election laws or the code of conduct, the EC can demand an explanation and take action against the government. The EC is responsible for enforcing the Code of Conduct. During election duty, the government officers are under the control of the EC.
