BJP Questions INDIA Bloc's Rally Turnout Claim Amid Electoral Legitimacy Dispute
Following the INDIA bloc's rally at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan, the BJP challenged the opposition's claim of a 10 lakh turnout, citing visuals showing around 40% of the venue vacant and thousands of empty chairs. BJP leaders, including Sambit Patra, criticized Rahul Gandhi's remarks on the 2024 election's legitimacy and mocked the rally as a 'flop show.' Opposition leaders defended the event, alleging vote manipulation and calling for the Chief Election Commissioner's removal. The debate highlights contrasting views on electoral integrity and political mobilization.
