Rahul Gandhi: Politics is heating up in Bihar. As Bihar assembly elections are likely to be held later this year, all the parties are sharpening their strategies. They are preparing weapons to win the elections. There is a possibility of a fierce battle between the BJP-led NDA and the India alliance in these elections. With this, politicians have started working to win the hearts of the people from now on. In this context, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has once again lashed out at the BJP. He accused the BJP of match-fixing in the Bihar elections.
Last year, Lok Sabha opposition leader Rahul Gandhi accused the BJP of rigging polls in Maharashtra as well. He criticized it for making a mockery of democracy by doing this. Rahul expressed concern that the BJP would do the same in the upcoming Bihar elections. Rahul Gandhi accused the BJP of rigging the Election Commission’s appointment panel, inducting fake voters, increasing the voting percentage, casting bogus votes wherever the BJP should have won, and hiding evidence in the coming days.
Rahul Gandhi said that he could understand why the BJP was so keen on the elections in Maharashtra. He said that rigging is like match-fixing. The cheating team may win. But he said that the institutions will suffer and the trust of the people will be lost. He asked the people to decide after observing all this. Rahul Gandhi strongly criticized the match-fixing done in Maharashtra and said that it will happen in Bihar as well. After that, wherever the BJP loses, match-fixing elections are like poison to democracy.
Opposition parties have accused that rigging took place in the Maharashtra elections in the past. Moreover, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge went further and demanded that the ballot paper system be brought back. Kharge described the EVM machines as fraud.
However, the Election Commission (EC) has denied the allegations of Rahul Gandhi and the opposition parties. It said that the increase in voting percentage in the Maharashtra elections is normal. The EC said that 6,40,87,588 voters cast their votes from 7 am to 6 pm, with an average of 58 lakh votes cast per hour. On average, 116 lakh voters would have voted in the last two hours, but only 65 lakh votes were cast, the Election Commission said. The EC said that Congress polling agents were present in every booth during the election, and no complaints were received then.
