Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Thursday alleged with "100% certainty" that elections in India, including the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, were being rigged, and demanded the immediate resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, as the political row over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls deepened following reports of objections raised by two Election Commissioners.
Addressing a press conference, Gandhi described the vote as the foundation of India's constitutional order. "From the vote, which is supposed to be protected by the Election Commission, our Constitution gets its power. From the Constitution, our laws are made, and from our laws emerge our institutions. This is a chain, and this chain defines modern India," he said.
