The Congress party on Wednesday urged the Election Commission (EC) to provide machine-readable digital copies of the Maharashtra voter lists, along with video footage of polling day from both Maharashtra and Haryana, within a week. This demand comes merely days after the EC's offer to Rahul Gandhi, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, to meet and discuss issues he had raised concerning the Maharashtra Assembly Elections 2024, reported PTI. 

The Empowered Action Group of Leaders and Experts (EAGLE) grouping of the Congress, in a letter addressed to EC, conveyed that the party leadership would be "pleased" to meet with the commission soon after receiving the requested voter lists and video footage.

This would enable them to present the findings of their subsequent analysis. "We request you to provide us the machine-readable, digital copy of the Maharashtra voter lists and video footage of polling day of Maharashtra and Haryana within a week from the date of this letter. This has been a long-standing request which should be easy to comply for the EC," the EAGLE grouping stated.
