Rahul Gandhi Accuses CEC Gyanesh Kumar of Institutional Theft
· India · Times of India, NDTV, Telegraph India
Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi has accused Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar of orchestrating a systemic failure in India's voting process. Addressing a press conference in New Delhi, Gandhi alleged that the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls has led to what he termed as vote, law, and institutional theft. He claimed that the 2024 Lok Sabha and various Vidhan Sabha elections were rigged, citing a lack of anti-incumbency against PM Narendra Modi and Amit Shah as evidence. Gandhi further alleged that Gyanesh Kumar was appointed by the Prime Minister and Home Minister to oversee this system. The report does not specify the exact evidence provided by Gandhi to support these claims.
Why it matters
The allegations challenge the credibility of India's electoral institutions and deepen the political divide between the opposition and the government.
