Chief Ministers from several states, including Yogi Adityanath and Devendra Fadnavis, accused the Congress and its allies of spreading misinformation to undermine constitutional institutions. The BJP stated that the Election Commission of India had already issued a fact-based clarification refuting the claims. Party leaders argued that the Opposition is creating confusion due to frustration over repeated electoral defeats. The BJP demanded an apology from the Congress for what it described as fabricated allegations.
