On Thursday, Rahul Gandhi accused the Election Commission of India (ECI) of allowing fraudulent activities in a Karnataka constituency. He asserted that the Congress possesses “concrete 100% proof” of such actions and threatened potential repercussions if the ECI did not address the issue. Gandhi stated that his party would investigate further.
In response, the ECI advised patience while the legal process plays out. The commission suggested that accusations should be reserved until a decision from the High Court is made after an election petition has been filed. Gandhi criticized the ECI for failing to perform its duties and alleged that the commission was acting against its mandate.
During the controversy, Gandhi highlighted evidence of voter list anomalies in Bihar, including unwarranted additions and deletions. He accused officials of malfeasance and warned of systematic electoral fraud across multiple constituencies.
