Rahul Gandhi, a prominent Congress leader, has leveled serious allegations against the Election Commission of India, accusing it of acting as an ally to the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Citing evidence of 'vote theft,' Gandhi claims the integrity of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections has been compromised.
Congress MPs, including Manickam Tagore and Ranjit Ranjan, have backed Gandhi's assertions, portraying the Election Commission as undermining democratic principles. They argue that top officials within the commission are damaging its credibility, alleging a nationwide conspiracy that erodes voting rights of those opposing the BJP.
Gandhi's allegations include accusations of electoral rigging and voter fraud, which he claims to substantiate with evidence. Despite the Election Commission labeling these claims as 'misleading' and 'baseless,' the controversy puts a spotlight on India's electoral processes ahead of the next general elections.
