Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Monday appreciated the Election Commission’s decision to share data for elections held in Haryana and Maharashtra from 2009 to 2024. Rahul asked if the Election Commission could tell the date of handing over data in digital format.
Rahul asked this question through a post on X. He also shared a screenshot of a media report published on 7 June, claiming that the Election Commission had assured the Delhi High Court to share the data of Haryana and Maharashtra voters list in early 2025 from 2009 to 2024.
However, no official statement has been received by the Election Commission yet. Rahul on Saturday sought a reply from the Election Commission, alleging rigging in the 2024 Maharashtra assembly elections through his article in two daily newspapers of the country. Sources in the Commission said on Sunday that he would answer only when Rahul would write a direct letter to him.
Rahul had said- Match fixing will be done in Bihar like Maharashtra
Rahul Gandhi had said in his article in newspapers that- ‘match fixing’ was done in the Maharashtra assembly elections, in which the BJP was already tried to decide. The BJP and its allies had planned 5 steps to win the election.
Rahul also said that like Maharashtra, match fixing will be in Bihar next time, then in any state where the BJP is seen losing. However, the Election Commission termed Rahul’s claims as baseless and said that it is absurd to make such allegations after not coming in favor.
After this, Rahul also questioned the way the Election Commission responds. Rahul posted on X on Saturday night and wrote, ‘AAP (Election Commission) is a constitutional body. The method of answering serious questions by issuing notes and evasive notes is not correct. If you have nothing to hide, then answer the questions given in my article and prove it.
