Rahul Gandhi Made Allegations, But Sent No Letter To Election Commission: Sources | Read

Congress MP Rahul Gandhi has not written any letter to the Election Commission of India (ECI) or sought any time for a meeting even 24 hours after he raised allegations of "rigging" in the assembly election held in November last year, ECI sources said today.

As per procedure, any constitutional body including the ECI will formally respond only when Mr Gandhi writes to them, the sources said. 

It is intriguing that Mr Gandhi says the issues being raised by him are "very serious", but when it comes to writing them and sending them to the ECI, he "shies away", sources said.

Mr Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, on Saturday asked the Election Commission to publish consolidated, digital and machine-readable voter rolls for the most recent elections to the Lok Sabha and assembly of all states, including Maharashtra, saying "telling the truth" will protect the ECI's credibility.
