Congress leader and Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi’s recent remarks on the 2024 Maharashtra Assembly elections have stirred fresh controversy, with the Election Commission of India (ECI) vehemently rejecting his claims.
Gandhi alleged that the Maharashtra polls were part of a "blueprint for rigging democracy," and that this "match-fixing" would be extended to Bihar and other states where the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is losing. The ECI has dismissed these allegations as “unsubstantiated” and “an affront to the rule of law.”
