Rahul Gandhi Alleges Treason by Election Commission Over Electoral Roll Revision
The Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha has made serious claims against the Election Commission, alleging 'treason' and 'vote chori' amid reports of internal dissent regarding electoral roll revisions.
New Delhi – Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, has levelled serious accusations of 'treason' against the Election Commission of India, alongside the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). Mr Gandhi asserted that these entities were complicit in an act of 'vote chori' (vote theft), which he described as a direct assault on the Constitution.
The allegations emerged following a report that suggested internal dissent among Election Commissioners regarding the process of electoral roll revision. Mr Gandhi’s statements underscored his belief that justice would ultimately prevail in the matter.
Veteran leaders within the Congress party echoed Mr Gandhi's sentiments, further intensifying the call for greater scrutiny. They urged for a parliamentary review to investigate the claims surrounding the electoral process and the alleged internal discord within the election body.
In response to these accusations, the Election Commission of India issued a firm rebuttal. The commission denied any internal conflicts or divisions among its members, asserting that all operational decisions, including those pertaining to electoral roll revisions, were arrived at collectively. The Election Commission further clarified that its actions were strictly in accordance with established legal protocols and directives issued by the Supreme Court, thereby dismissing the claims of impropriety and internal rifts.
