Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi Accuse BJP, EC of Treason Over Electoral Roll DisputePreviousNext

Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra have accused the BJP, RSS, and Election Commission of India (ECI) of committing treason by allegedly manipulating electoral rolls during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR). Two Election Commissioners reportedly raised multiple objections to decisions taken without their consent, which the ECI denies, asserting unanimous approval. The opposition demands justice, including calls for the removal and prosecution of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, amid concerns over the integrity of the electoral process.
