Political Fireworks: Rahul Gandhi's 'Atom Bomb' Allegation Against Election Commission

In a scathing response, Union Minister Rajiv Ranjan Singh dismissed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's accusations of large-scale voter fraud and his dramatic 'atom bomb' evidence claim against the Election Commission of India. Singh affirmed that the country operates under democratic and legal frameworks, not according to Gandhi's assertions.

Singh criticized Gandhi's allegations, noting that the Constitution doesn't permit non-citizens to vote, questioning Gandhi's understanding of constitutional provisions. Last Friday, Gandhi alleged the ECI's direct involvement in what he termed an 'open-and-shut' voter fraud case, which Congress's investigation purportedly exposed.

Furthermore, Rajiv Ranjan Singh addressed the claims by Bihar's Leader of Opposition, Tejashwi Yadav, regarding his name missing from the voter list. Singh accused Yadav of politicizing issues without factual basis, as the Election Commission confirmed Yadav's name appears in the draft voter list, countering his claims of omission.
