BJP Fires 'Khandani Chor' Jibe as Rahul Gandhi Criticizes Maharashtra Civic Polls

The BJP has criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for accusing them of 'vote theft' in Maharashtra civic polls. Gandhi has called such acts anti-national, while BJP leaders have labeled his claims as baseless excuses ahead of vote counting results.

Tensions rose as the BJP accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of misleading the public with accusations of 'vote theft' during the Maharashtra civic polls. Gandhi, labeling such actions as anti-national, also critiqued the Election Commission's integrity.

BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla dismissed Gandhi's allegations as habitual misinformation. He questioned the basis of Gandhi's claims, particularly referencing similar allegations made by Gandhi regarding the Bihar elections.

The BJP demanded clarity from Gandhi and the opposition INDIA bloc on their failure to legally challenge the election results, implying a lack of substance in their accusations.
