BJP attacks Rahul Gandhi over Form 6 row ahead of Opposition march to EC
· India · Times of India, LiveMint
BJP national spokesperson Sambit Patra on Tuesday accused Rahul Gandhi of misleading the public over Form 6, alleging the Congress and INDIA bloc were attempting to undermine constitutional institutions ahead of their planned protest against the Election Commission. Patra stated the Supreme Court had not declared Form 6 illegal but only agreed to examine allegations of changes to the form, rejecting Gandhi's claim of a split within the Election Commission. He cited an ECI fact-check confirming the Bihar SIR order was approved unanimously and no change to Form 6 had occurred. Patra also alleged the opposition's march to the EC was a sponsored attempt to weaken democratic institutions and facilitate Gandhi's political rise.
Why it matters
The exchange intensifies political tension ahead of the Opposition's planned march to the Election Commission, with BJP framing the Congress's allegations as an attempt to destabilise democratic institutions for political gain.
