BJP Criticizes Rahul Gandhi’s Account of Meeting with President
· India · The Hindu, Times of India, Zee News
The Bharatiya Janata Party has accused Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi of misrepresenting a meeting between the INDIA bloc and President Droupadi Murmu. The opposition delegation met the President in New Delhi on Friday to raise allegations of vote theft following recent bypoll results. Rahul Gandhi claimed he was surprised the President did not deny or question the allegations, leading BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi to label his statement as politically motivated. Trivedi argued that Gandhi twisted the facts of the interaction and questioned why the Congress has not formally challenged the election results through official channels. The BJP maintains that the President's office is an institution that should not be drawn into partisan narratives.
