Rahul Gandhi Alleges Election Rigging, Calls for Election Chief's Resignation Amid BJP Criticism
Rahul Gandhi, Leader of Opposition, accused the BJP and Election Commission of India (ECI) of rigging the 2024 elections, alleging 'vote chori' and demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation. He questioned the disappearance of anti-incumbency against BJP leaders Narendra Modi and Amit Shah, citing electoral irregularities and dissent within the ECI. BJP spokesperson C R Kesavan dismissed Gandhi's claims as attempts to deflect blame for Congress's losses. The Election Commission has denied allegations, maintaining the integrity of the electoral process.
