Priyanka Gandhi Slams Election Commission Over Alleged Poll Rigging

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra launched a scathing critique against the Election Commission, questioning its alleged bias towards the ruling party following Rahul Gandhi's claims of electoral malpractice. She urged the commission to transcend party loyalties and thoroughly investigate the allegations of fraudulent voter lists.

According to Gandhi, affidavits were being demanded without addressing the core issue—a potential democratic breach. She noted that the evidence presented was substantial enough to warrant an immediate inquiry, challenging the EC's stance on the accusations as premature without proper investigation.

The Congress leader challenged the EC to account for its actions, insisting it should be a non-partisan body focused on protecting democratic integrity. The INDIA bloc leaders plan to tackle the issue collectively, pressing for accountability in the electoral process.
