Detailed Solution

To hold elections by conspiring with the ruling parties is not the power of the Election commission of India. The Election Commission in India is an independent body, and the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) is not accountable to the government. The EC takes decisions on every facet of the conduct of elections- from the declaration of elections to the announcement of results. The EC implements the Code of Conduct and has the power to punish whoever violates it. During the duration of elections, it can order the government to follow some protocols to prevent the use or misuse of its power.
