Rahul Gandhi Accuses BJP, RSS, and Election Commission of Treason Over Electoral Roll Dispute
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi accused the BJP, RSS, and Election Commission of committing treason through alleged manipulation of electoral rolls during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process. His claims followed reports that two Election Commissioners formally objected multiple times to decisions made without their consent. Gandhi described 'vote chori' as a crime against the Constitution and promised justice. The Election Commission has defended its actions, stating decisions were unanimous. Opposition leaders have called for investigations and the removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
