Rajasthan Polling News: As voters exercise their franchise for the 199 assembly seats in Rajasthan, the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) has filed a complaint to the Election Commission of India (ECI) against Rahul Gandhi for his post on X, formerly Twitter, relating to the Rajasthan assembly polls. The BJP has requested the EC to direct its functionaries to immediately suspend Gandhi's account and remove the aforestated "offending contents with immediate effect."
The complaint letter also asks the poll body to issue directions to the Chief Election Officer Rajasthan for filing a criminal complaint and initiating criminal prosecution against the Congress MP.
Rahul Gandhi, earlier in the day, shared a post asking people to vote and added a list of promises made by his party during the election campaign in the state.
In a post, he said:
"Rajasthan will choose free treatment
Rajasthan will choose cheaper gas cylinder
Rajasthan will choose interest free agricultural loan
Rajasthan will choose English education
Rajasthan will choose OPS
Rajasthan will choose caste census"
"Today, go out in large numbers and exercise your franchise. Elect a Congress government that is beneficial to the people and has guarantees," the Congress leader further said.
Results for the Rajasthan elections, along with other four states will be declared on Dec 3.
