Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar hardened his stance today regarding Rahul Gandhi's "vote theft" allegations, saying noting less than an affidavit on the matter or apology to the country will do.
"An affidavit will have to be given or an apology will have to be made to the country," Mr Kumar said. "There is no third option. If the affidavit is not received within seven days, it means that all these allegations are baseless," he added.
