Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday said his party, which “fought for freedom”, would not remain silent over the Election Commission row.
The Congress leader was addressing a press conference at Indira Bhavan in New Delhi. Because i come from a political family and I have spent more than 50 years in a political family, “It is.
No political leader who operates in a democratic environment can say or make such a statement,” Gandhi said.
Gandhi cited the example of former prime minister Indira Gandhi, saying, “Indira Gandhi ji wins the Bangladesh war, is at the height of her popularity, and then suddenly, within a year or two, there is massive anti-incumbency, massive pressure. It is their responsibility to protect the vote. “I am not speaking in the air.
“Because in India, there is a fundamental force called anti-incumbency that very quickly starts to resist any government, and it does not spare anybody,” he said. On the Election Commission, Gandhi said, “The Election Commission is the institutional protector of the vote. I have shown it with proof,” Gandhi said, claiming there was “more than enough information” to establish his allegation. Gandhi said Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah and Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar were “deshdrohis” (traitors) as they “destroyed” India’s vote, and demanded the immediate resignation of the CEC.
