Breaking News: Rahul Gandhi's Election Commission Allegations Spark Sambit Patra's Criticism | ABP NEWS

During his visit to the United States, Rahul Gandhi made controversial remarks about the Election Commission, accusing it of being compromised during the Maharashtra elections. He claimed that the voting process was fraudulent and that the BJP's victory was facilitated by the Election Commission. In response, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra criticized Gandhi, accusing him of defaming India's democracy while abroad. BJP also pointed out the hypocrisy in Gandhi's allegations, questioning whether similar accusations were made during the Jharkhand elections, where Congress had won several by-elections. Furthermore, they highlighted that the BJP's massive victory in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections was not subjected to the same criticism. BJP argued that Gandhi's remarks reflected a tendency to undermine Indian institutions when overseas, adding that his frustration likely stemmed from ongoing legal challenges against his party, including corruption allegations involving his family.
