Speaking in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi launched a sharp attack on the government, alleging that the Election Commission - the institution directly responsible for India's electoral system - has been "captured" and is being used to influence outcomes. He said he has presented "adequate proof" to show the EC is "colluding with those in power". Rahul questioned why the Chief Justice of India was removed from the Election Commissioner selection panel, arguing that it allows the Prime Minister and Home Minister to hand-pick key officials.
