The BJP slammed Rahul Gandhi for once again coming up with theories of irregularities in the electoral list. BJP Mumbai president Ameet Satam claimed that instead of introspecting on the reason for the party's loss in the polls, Rahul is blaming irregularities in the voter list. “This is not going to help the Congress,” Satam said while speaking to the media.

On Thursday, in a veiled attack on the BJP, Rahul fired a fresh salvo against the Election Commission of India (ECI) for “shielding those trying to bulldoze democracy”. “The poll panel is shielding vote thieves,” Gandhi claimed during his conference, which aimed to expose flaws in the electoral list and how manipulation was done during the polls through the addition and deletion of voters.
