Priyanka and Rahul Gandhi Challenge EC Over Alleged Voter Fraud

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra criticized the Election Commission (EC) for demanding Rahul Gandhi provide sworn details of his election rigging allegations. She suggested the EC prioritizes its duties toward the BJP and urged a reevaluation of its responsibilities.

This confrontation follows requests from Chief Electoral Officers in three states for Rahul Gandhi to list voters he accuses of being wrongfully added or removed. Priyanka defended her brother, insisting their party furnished evidence that merits investigation and criticizing the Commission for not offering voter lists in a machine-readable format.

Emphasizing the gravity of electoral integrity, Priyanka argued that significant claims like over one lakh fake votes in an assembly should prompt thorough scrutiny, not dismissal. She warned of future repercussions for malpractices and reiterated the need for the EC to safeguard democracy rather than undermine it.
