Mahadangal: Voter Fraud Allegations Ignite Showdown Between Opposition and ECI | ABP NEWS

A major political storm is brewing as the Indian opposition intensifies its accusations against the Election Commission of India (ECI), alleging voter fraud and bias, particularly in Bihar. With less than 100 days left for the upcoming elections, the opposition is gearing up to take drastic steps, including an impeachment motion against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. However, with the Monsoon Session of Parliament ending on August 21, it’s unlikely the opposition can initiate the process within this timeframe. The BJP has hit back, calling the opposition’s move a "pressure tactic" and accusing them of undermining constitutional institutions. Referring to Rahul Gandhi’s recent political campaigns, BJP leaders mockingly questioned the nature of his latest "yatra," suggesting it follows a series of legal troubles. While the Congress insists it's simply holding institutions accountable, critics argue that such threats undermine democratic norms. The opposition maintains that their concerns stem from the ECI’s alleged partiality, and they demand transparency. This standoff raises critical questions: Is the impeachment threat a genuine democratic check or political posturing after electoral defeat? The debate over the role and accountability of the ECI is now front and center in India’s political discourse.
