The Election Commission of India challenged Rahul Gandhi's claims about voting irregularities during Maharashtra's 2024 Assembly elections. Gandhi received an official invitation on June 12, 2025, requesting discussion about concerns he published in a newspaper article. The Congress leader has failed to respond to this invitation after nearly two months. Commission officials stated that similar complaints from the Indian National Congress were already addressed through a detailed December 24, 2024 response posted online. Gandhi recently labeled the poll panel as inactive and lacking independence.

Election Commission sources rejected Gandhi's accusations as unfounded and noted the absence of voting discrepancies. Officials warned that such statements could damage public confidence in the constitutional body. The Commission conducted thorough verification of Electronic Voting Machines following requests from ten Maharashtra candidates. This process examined 48 Ballot Units, 31 Control Units, and 31 Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trails. Results confirmed all machines functioned properly with no mismatches between EVM outcomes and paper trail records.
