In a significant political tussle, Congress MP Pramod Tiwari has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of authoritarianism following the detention of numerous INDIA bloc MPs. The arrests came during a protest against alleged 'vote theft' involving the Election Commission, marking a contentious time for Indian democracy.
Parallelly, Congress MP Sukhdeo Bhagat criticized the Election Commission as an extension of the ruling BJP. Bhagat's comments came amid allegations from Rahul Gandhi about suspicious electoral activities, pointing to a nervous EC inviting opposition leaders for discussions.
The crackdown saw key Congress figures like Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi being whisked away by police during their march to the EC office. The demonstration was a clarion call against supposed 'vote chori' in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, underscoring concerns about the integrity of India's voting process.
