Responding to the Election Commission’s (EC) rebuttal, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Saturday said in a letter to the EC that Congress is on the side of it and it is for the officials of the EC to now decide where they stand.
EC on Friday issued a public rebuttal to a letter written by Mr. Kharge to his colleagues in INDIA bloc on the alleged “discrepancies in the voting data” released by the election panel, calling it an “attempt to push a biased narrative under the guise of seeking clarifications.”
Mr. Kharge said that it is “surprising” that the EC chose to respond to a letter addressed to “alliance partners” and not to the Commission while ignoring several other complaints given directly to it. He also stated that while he has “misgivings” about the language of the EC’s letter, he will not press on the issue.
