On Wednesday, Rahul Gandhi (senior leader of the Indian National Congress) accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of electoral fraud, stating that out of 240 BJP MPs in the Lok Sabha, approximately one-sixth have achieved victory through vote theft. He criticized the BJP's governance in Haryana, labeling the entire government as infiltrators and suggesting that if fair elections were conducted, the BJP would not secure more than 140 seats. Gandhi expressed concerns about the integrity of electoral processes, alleging that in states like Assam and West Bengal, the BJP has manipulated elections with the help of the Election Commission. In response, Kiren Rijiju (India's Minister of Law and Justice) urged Gandhi to respect the democratic mandate and criticized the Congress party for allegedly treating Muslims as mere vote banks.
