A political storm has erupted after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi made serious allegations about electoral fraud and irregularities during recent elections. Gandhi accused the Election Commission of being complicit in vote manipulation, citing incidents like the Mahadev Pura seat and the removal of votes, which he claimed were deleted to favor certain parties. In a Twitter post, he also expressed concerns about the state of democracy and called on India’s youth to protect the Constitution. The BJP swiftly countered these accusations, accusing Rahul Gandhi of attempting to instigate unrest by misleading the youth and creating doubts about India’s electoral integrity. BJP leaders, including K.K. Sharma, rejected the charges, asserting that the Election Commission had addressed concerns in previous press briefings. They also dismissed any claims of electoral fraud as baseless and political maneuvering. The controversy has heightened tensions between the two major parties, with calls for clarity on the allegations and a demand for accountability from all sides.
