Rahul Gandhi Alleges Electoral Irregularities, BJP and Election Commission Respond
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has accused the Election Commission of India, particularly Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, of enabling electoral irregularities, alleging 'vote chori' (vote theft) and calling for Kumar's resignation. Gandhi claimed that anti-incumbency, a common democratic phenomenon, has disappeared for the BJP and its leaders Narendra Modi and Amit Shah, whom he said would be investigated. The BJP and its spokespersons have rejected these allegations, citing electoral losses and accusing Gandhi of deflecting blame for Congress's defeats. The Election Commission has defended its processes amid reports of internal dissent.
