The Bharatiya Janata Party attacked Congress leader Rahul Gandhi after he questioned India's electoral integrity. Party spokesperson Shehzad Poonawala conducted a press briefing at BJP headquarters on Wednesday. Gandhi had told the Financial Times that systematic vote-rigging threatens Indian democracy. He described mass mobilization as Congress strategy against alleged electoral manipulation. Poonawala accused Gandhi of spreading false information without evidence.
The BJP representative claimed Gandhi suffers from an entitled mentality rather than genuine concerns about election processes. Poonawala labeled Gandhi a propaganda leader instead of an effective opposition figure. The spokesperson referenced multiple occasions when Gandhi made unsubstantiated allegations against government institutions. These instances span from March through September, ranging from claims about religious freedom to military matters. Courts previously criticized Gandhi for making baseless statements about armed forces in Arunachal Pradesh.
