The BJP has criticized Rahul Gandhi for his repeated accusations against the Election Commission, arguing that it reflects his lack of faith in democratic institutions. Gandhi has been accused of attempting to incite chaos similar to unrest seen in Nepal and Bangladesh.
Former Union Minister Anurag Thakur claims Gandhi's agenda is centered around shielding illegal voters at the cost of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and Other Backward Classes' interests. The Election Commission has firmly denied Gandhi's allegations of electoral tampering, affirming that no unauthorized deletions occurred.
An FIR has been filed to investigate these claims, with the Election Commission providing necessary details for the probe. In recent statements, Thakur has asserted that Gandhi's reluctance to file an affidavit or pursue court action reveals a fear of substantiation, citing past legal defeats as evidence.
