PM Modi trying to do match-fixing in Lok Sabha polls: Rahul Gandhi

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on March 31 accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of trying to do "match-fixing" in the Lok Sabha polls and asserted that if the BJP succeeds in its endeavours, the country's Constitution will be changed and people's rights taken away.

Addressing the INDIA bloc's 'Save Democracy' rally at the Ramlila Maidan in New Delhi, the former Congress chief said this is not an ordinary election but one to save the country’s democracy and Constitution.

"When pressure is put on umpires and captain, players are bought off and the match is won, in cricket, it is called match-fixing. We have Lok Sabha polls before us. Who selected the umpires? Before the match started, two players were arrested... Narendra Modi is trying to do match-fixing in these polls," Mr. Gandhi said.
