The Maharashtra BJP has launched a scathing attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, labeling him the 'badshah' or king of 'vote theft'. The BJP demands an apology from Gandhi for his recurring, unsubstantiated accusations regarding election misconduct.

Addressing the media, BJP chief spokesperson Keshav Upadhye condemned Gandhi's habitual claims, advocating for solutions to be sought within legal frameworks. He emphasized the necessity of legal battles rather than making unproved allegations.

Gandhi, meanwhile, accused the Chief Election Commissioner of safeguarding 'vote thieves' and undermining democracy. He presented data allegedly showing voter deletions in a Karnataka constituency as evidence. The BJP cited a recent Karnataka High Court verdict to counter Gandhi's assertions.
