Folowing Lok Sabha LoP Rahul Gandhi’s tweet that the Maharashtra elections in November 2024 were ‘rigged,’ the Election Commission of India hit back with a point-wise rebuttal, stating that “facts are completely being ignored.”
The ECI stated: “…unsubstantiated allegations raised against the Electoral Rolls of Maharashtra are affront to the rule of law. The Election Commission had brought out all these facts in its reply to INC on 24th December 2024 itself which is available on ECI’s website. It appears that all these facts are completely being ignored while raising such issues again and again…”
“Any misinformation being spread, by anyone, is not only a sign of disrespect towards Law, but also brings disrepute to the thousands of representatives appointed by their own political party and demotivates lakhs of election staff who work untiringly and transparently during elections. After any unfavourable verdict by the voters, trying to defame the Election Commission by saying that it is compromised, is completely absurd.”
