Rahul Gandhi Claims "Vote Theft", Poll Panel Hits Back At "Baseless Allegations"

Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi has said that the Congress had an "atom bomb" of proof that the Election Commission was "stealing votes" for the BJP, and when the matter comes to light, the poll panel will have "no place to hide". Responding to Rahul, the poll body said it "ignores such baseless allegations being made daily." The BJP criticised the Congress leader for using "undemocratic and undignified" language. Remember, the Opposition parties have been protesting against Bihar's SIR exercise for the last few days. The Congress leader's remarks came after he and other Opposition leaders wrote to Lok Sabha Speaker, urging him to schedule a special discussion on the ongoing voter list revision in Bihar. The Opposition has alleged the SIR exercise is aimed at "disenfranchising voters" ahead of the Bihar Assembly elections and has been demanding a discussion on the issue in both Houses.
