BJP Compares NDA Election Win Rates Under Different Chief Election Commissioners
The BJP highlighted that the National Democratic Alliance's (NDA) election victory rate under Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar is approximately 66%, lower than the 75% during V S Sampath's tenure under the Congress-led UPA. BJP spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari questioned Congress leader Sonia Gandhi's role, referencing Rahul Gandhi's allegations of bias favoring the NDA under Kumar. The BJP challenged these claims, citing data to dispute the 'vote chori' accusation. Gyanesh Kumar became CEC on February 19, 2025.
