Union Ministers Criticize Rahul Gandhi Over Vote Theft Allegations

Union Minister Pralhad Joshi and BJP MP Ravi Shankar Prasad criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over his vote theft claims. Joshi mocked Gandhi's repeated relaunches and accused Congress of disrespecting citizens. Prasad accused Gandhi of making false allegations without proper research about the election process involving Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.

Union Minister Pralhad Joshi on Friday launched a scathing critique of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, asserting that despite multiple relaunches, Gandhi remains unsuccessful and confused in his rhetoric. Joshi accused the Congress party of disrespecting the public instead of presenting a clear vision for the future.

Speaking to reporters on Rahul Gandhi's recent vote theft claims, Joshi defended the integrity of India's democratic system, questioning Gandhi's criticism. He said, "Our country boasts a robust democratic framework, and if citizens don't elect Congress, it's hardly our fault." Joshi further admonished Gandhi for making baseless comparisons with countries like Nepal and Sri Lanka.

Echoing similar sentiments, BJP MP Ravi Shankar Prasad lambasted Gandhi's allegations concerning Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and the purported voter deletions in Karnataka. Prasad accused Gandhi of lying and failing to perform due diligence before making public statements, undermining the democratic process with unfounded claims.
