Congress Raises Voter Fraud Claims, But Avoids ECI Discussions For 3.5 Months

Despite leading a sustained campaign accusing the Election Commission of India (ECI) of voter fraud and vote theft, the Congress Party is the only national party that has not participated in the ECI's ongoing structured interaction process. The Commission has been engaging with national and state political parties for the past 3.5 months, but Congress repeatedly sought deferrals and eventually stopped responding to communication. Notably, Rahul Gandhi has been vocal in making serious allegations, yet has not provided verifiable evidence, even when the ECI asked for proof under oath. The situation underscores a growing rift between the Congress and the country's top election body.
