New Delhi: The Congress on Sunday alleged that the Election Commission stood “thoroughly exposed” not only for its “incompetence” but also for its “blatant partisanship”, soon after the chief election commissioner defended the SIR in Bihar and rejected as “baseless” the opposition party’s allegations of “vote theft”.
The Congress also termed as “laughable” the claims made by the EC that it makes no distinction between the ruling party and the Opposition.
Addressing a press conference here, CEC Gynaesh Kumar said the electoral roll revision is aimed at removing all shortcomings in voter lists, and it is a matter of grave concern that some parties are spreading misinformation about it and “firing from the EC’s shoulder”.
“Today, a short while after Shri Rahul Gandhi launched the INDIA janbandhan’s Voter Adhikar Yatra from Sasaram, the CEC and his two ECs began by saying they make no distinction between the ruling party and the opposition.
“This is laughable, to put it very mildly, in the face of mountains of evidence to the contrary. Notably, the CEC answered none of the pointed questions raised by Shri Rahul Gandhi meaningfully,” Ramesh said in a post on X.
