Rahul Gandhi, a prominent Congress leader, leveled serious accusations against the BJP on Friday, claiming attempts to tamper with the upcoming Bihar elections, mirroring alleged manipulations in Maharashtra last year.
Addressing a 'Save Constitution rally', Gandhi criticized the Election Commission's impartiality, accusing it of supporting BJP interests. The Congress leader emphasized that the INDIA bloc is determined to prevent election fraud in Bihar, accusing the BJP of cooperating with large corporations at the expense of common citizens.
Gandhi highlighted concerns in Odisha regarding resource distribution and women's safety, claiming that BJP government policies exploit tribals and marginalized communities. He urged for caste-based census efforts in Odisha, following a successful model in Telangana. Despite purported BJP pressures, Gandhi reported a temporary truce with local drivers to ensure rally proceedings.
