BJP has hit out at Congress leader and Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi for questioning the integrity of Election Commission in conducting elections.
Addressing media in New Delhi, BJP Spokesperson Sambit Patra said that it was not for the first time that Mr Gandhi has made accusations against Constitutional bodies, but he has also targeted them earlier also. Mr Patra said that Congress leaders and Mr Gandhi do not raise questions about the integrity of the Commission in those States where the Congress won elections.
He said, in the last Lok Sabha elections, when Congress secured 99 seats, it celebrated the results as a victory. Patra asked, if the Election Commission is compromised then why the Congress celebrated those results. He said, this shows Congress’ apparent selective outrage.
He further said BJP remained in opposition for more times than any other party, but never our political leaders threatened the Election Commission Officers.
Patra putting his facts said, “According to the constitution by Baba Saheb Ambedkar, it is written that if there is found any mess in the process of election, any commission don’t do his duty properly, anybody can knock the doors of the court.” “So has Mr Rahul Gandhi done that ? Did you file a petition against this?”, he questioned.
