The officials, he added, have been facilitating vote theft.
Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav added his voice to ally Congress’s senior leader Rahul Gandhi to slam the Election Commission, saying they act like “puppets”.
“Given such serious allegations, the Chief Election Commissioner should step down voluntarily. It has become clear that dishonesty was being orchestrated from there-forging signatures, improperly removing names, adding new names, and functioning as a puppet for the Bharatiya Janata Party,” he added. “This is an attack on the Constitution of India… We are not going to let democracy be destroyed in India and remain silent,” he had added.
Pointing to statements by Home Minister Amit Shah and Prime Minister Narendra Modi that the BJP would remain in power for 30 years and that the NDA would cross 400 seats in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Gandhi said no political leader could be this confident.
“If the vote of this generation had not been stolen, the Samajwadi government would have been formed in 2022,” he told reporters. ” Inhone chunav Noucha (they have snatched away the election, they are poll snatchers (Chunav Nochwa) we have seen,” Yadav said. At a press conference in Delhi today, Rahul Gandhi had demanded the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, calling him a “traitor”. Calling for the resignation of Gyanesh Kumar, Gandhi said what he has done is an act against the Indian nation. “Loktantra ki chor Congress is frustrated as the Gandhi-Vadra family is democratically made to sit in the Opposition by the people of India,” said BJP spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari.
