BJP Slams Rahul Gandhi with 'Khandani Chor' Accusation Over Maharashtra Polls

The BJP accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of misleading the public by criticizing the Maharashtra civic poll process. This followed Gandhi's claims of election malpractice. BJP spokespersons Shehzad Poonawalla and Pradeep Bhandari hit back, labeling Gandhi’s allegations as baseless and a distraction from potential electoral defeat.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday launched a scathing attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of attempting to mislead voters through his critique of the Maharashtra civic poll process.

This confrontation unfolded amidst allegations by Gandhi that the electoral process was compromised, which he described as an 'anti-national act.' Gandhi alleged misconduct related to marking pens used during the voting process.

In response, BJP spokespersons Shehzad Poonawalla and Pradeep Bhandari labeled Gandhi's claims as frivolous, questioning why similar allegations were not legally challenged in the Bihar elections and suggesting that these claims were a bid to deflect attention from an anticipated loss.
