The Election Commission (EC) firmly rebutted Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's allegations of 'cheating' in a Karnataka constituency. Labeling the remarks as 'highly unfortunate,' the EC emphasized the baselessness of the claims and criticized Gandhi for threatening a constitutional body.
In response, Gandhi asserted that his party has 'concrete, 100 percent proof' of the EC's misconduct during the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. Despite these serious accusations, the poll authority noted that Congress had not pursued available legal remedies under the RP Act, a crucial point underscored by the EC spokesperson.
The controversy escalated as Gandhi warned the electoral commission that they would be held accountable, hinting at possible future actions. The EC's stance remained firm, questioning the motive behind such claims and the absence of any legal challenges by the Congress at the state level.
