BJP Fires Back at Rahul Gandhi’s EC Criticism: Accusations of ‘Emergency Mindset’ Fly

The BJP has launched a scathing attack on Rahul Gandhi following his recent criticism of the Election Commission of India (ECI). BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi led the charge, drawing parallels between Gandhi’s remarks and the authoritarian tactics employed during Indira Gandhi’s Emergency.

Trivedi accused Gandhi of displaying a blatant disregard for the ECI’s authority, suggesting that the Congress leader only accepts election outcomes when his party emerges victorious. He highlighted this perceived inconsistency as a major cause for concern.

The BJP MP went on to defend the ECI’s ongoing efforts to maintain transparent and accurate electoral rolls. He further alleged that the INDIA bloc, of which Congress is a key member, is actively undermining democratic processes due to anxieties surrounding recent demographic shifts.

Trivedi’s statement underscores the escalating tensions between the BJP and the opposition INDIA bloc, highlighting the increasingly fraught political landscape in the lead-up to crucial state elections.
