The Election Commission (EC) has written a letter to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.
In this, he has been called for a discussion on his allegations of rigging in the Maharashtra assembly elections.
According to the ANI, the letter has been sent by mail and also to Rahul's residence on June 12.
EC wrote in the letter- "Elections are conducted in the country very strictly through the Electoral Law passed by the Parliament of India, its rules and the instructions of the Election Commission from time to time. The Maharashtra Assembly election process is conducted centrally at the assembly constituency level."
"This includes more than 1,00,186 BLOs appointed by the EC, 288 electoral registration officers, 139 general observers, 41 police observers, 71 expenditure observers and 288 returning officers and 1 lakh 8 thousand 26 booth level agents appointed by national and state political parties in Maharashtra. These include 28,421 agents of Congress."
Rahul had alleged-
"Match fixing was done in Maharashtra elections. Similar fixing will now happen in Bihar, and then wherever BJP seems to be losing."
Rahul Gandhi wrote on X-
"The voter list of the constituency of Maharashtra Chief Minister (Devendra Fadnavis) had increased by 8% in 5 months."
"At some booths, the number of voters increased by 20 to 50%."
"The BLO reported that unknown people had cast their votes."
"The media found thousands of voters without verifiable addresses. The Election Commission is silent on this. Is this collusion? These are not isolated irregularities. This is theft of votes. Hiding this is an admission of guilt. Therefore, we demand the immediate release of the machine readable digital voter list and CCTV footage."
