Just a few hours after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi organised a press conference highlighting the voter list manipulation by the Election Commission, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis firmly rejected Congress MP Rahul Gandhi`s allegation. The Congress leader, while drawing major attention to the Maharashtra Assembly Poll 2024, said that the 2024 assembly polls in the western state, won with a decisive mandate by the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance, were "stolen".
Rahul Gandhi, while speaking to reporters at AICC headquarters in New Delhi, said that “Maharashtra results confirmed his party`s suspicion that the assembly elections were `stolen`,” as cited by news agency PTI.
The Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha further asserted that, “Not giving machine-readable voter lists convinced us that the Election Commission (EC) colluded with BJP to `steal` elections in Maharashtra," as per news agency PTI.
