Rahul Gandhi Accuses BJP of Misusing Election Commission for Poll Victory

New Delhi. The results of the assembly elections in four states and one union territory of India have created a new stir in politics. Meanwhile, Indian National Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has made serious allegations against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of misusing the Election Commission and securing the results in its favor.

In a post on social media X, he commented on the election results of Assam and Bengal. He claimed that the BJP stole the mandate in Assam and Bengal with the help of the Election Commission and made it clear that he agrees with Mamata Banerjee on this issue.

Gandhi claimed that more than 100 seats were snatched through rigging in West Bengal alone. He mentioned that the BJP had adopted this style of election before, and accused that the same happened in Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Maharashtra, and the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

He questioned the impartiality of Indian democratic institutions by saying, 'What other way is left after election rigging and institutional theft!'

According to the election results, the BJP has registered victory in West Bengal, Assam, and Puducherry. In West Bengal, the BJP secured a huge majority with 206 seats, while the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) was reduced to 81 seats.

Similarly, Congress and Left have got only 2-2 seats each. In Assam too, the BJP has strengthened its hold by winning 102 seats, while Congress had to settle for 21 seats and AIUDF for 2 seats.

The results of other states, however, have been different. In Kerala, the Congress-led UDF alliance has emerged victorious, while in Tamil Nadu, actor Vijay's party 'TVK' has emerged as the largest party.
