The Election Commission of India (ECI) has refuted Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s ‘vote chori’ charges a day after the latter accused the poll body of manipulating voter lists and colluding with the BJP to influence the election.
In a sharp response, the ECI described Gandhi’s accusations as “misleading and baseless”, asserting that the Congress leader should either sign a formal declaration as per the procedures laid down in the election rules or issue a public apology.
