The Karnataka High Court's decision to annul the election of Congress MLA K Y Nanjegowda from Malur has ignited a political uproar in the state. BJP leader R Ashoka accused the ruling Congress of operating a 'Vote Chori Mafia' after the verdict.
The court's ruling followed a petition by defeated BJP candidate K S Manjunath Gowda, demanding a recount of the votes within four weeks. While this order is currently on hold for 30 days to allow for an appeal to the Supreme Court, it has significantly intensified the political tension.
BJP leaders, including Ashoka, have criticized Congress for allegedly undermining democratic processes. Meanwhile, Congress and Rahul Gandhi refocus attention on the BJP, alleging broader electoral manipulation in other states like Bihar, underscoring the simmering controversies surrounding elections in India.
