The Election Commission of India has given a befitting reply to Rahul Gandhi’s Karnataka election allegations. The Election Commission said that if the election petition has been filed, then the Honorable High Court’s decision should be awaited. If this is not happening, then why are you making baseless allegations now?
Earlier, Rahul Gandhi on Thursday claimed that the Congress has 100 percent evidence of the fact that the Election Commission allowed rigging in a constituency in Karnataka. He warned the Election Commission that he would not be able to escape from it, as we will let this happen and follow you. On this, the Election Commission replied that if the election petition has been filed, then wait for the decision of the Hon’ble High Court. If not, then why are you making baseless allegations now?
‘ECI is not working like Election Commission of India’
In fact, any person dissatisfied with the decision can file an election petition within 45 days of the declaration of election results. Such petitions can be filed in the High Courts of the state of the respective constituency. Rahul Gandhi alleged that the Election Commission is not acting like the Election Commission of India. He is not doing his work.
‘100 percent solid evidence’
When Rahul was asked about the special intensive revision of the voter list in Bihar and the option of RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav’s option to boycott the Bihar assembly elections, he told reporters that his party had 100 percent solid evidence of his party to allow fraud from the Election Commission on one seat in Karnataka.
Why is the opposition opposing SIR?
Opposition parties including Congress and Samajwadi Party are opposing voter list revision. They allege that it is an attempt to deprive voters, especially the marginalized communities, to denote the franchise. He claims that this process is being used to remove names from the voter list, which may affect the results of the upcoming assembly elections.
