A day after Congress Member of Parliament (MP) Rahul Gandhi alleged voter fraud in Karnataka and other states, Samajwadi Party (SP) leader Abu Azmi on Friday criticised the Election Commission of India, claiming it of showing blatant bias towards the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), PTI reported. Azmi also alleged manipulation of the voter list in Maharashtra.

Talking to reporters, the SP Maharashtra chief claimed that the names of valid voters were added in the Mankhurd-Shivaji Nagar Assembly Constituency just six months before the elections in 2024, and inexplicably removed and substituted with those of non-residents.

He demanded an urgent audit of voter rolls and swift fixes to prevent more discrepancies.
