Breaking News: Rahul Gandhi Raises Concerns Over Electoral Integrity at Brown University, BJP Accuses Him of Defaming India

Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi is currently on a visit to the United States and recently interacted with students at Brown University. During his address, Gandhi raised serious concerns about India's electoral system, particularly highlighting alleged irregularities in the Maharashtra Assembly elections. He claimed that in certain areas, the number of votes cast exceeded the number of registered voters. He also criticized the Election Commission for not sharing video evidence of the voting process when requested. Gandhi alleged that the Election Commission has compromised its neutrality, stating this is a worrying sign for Indian democracy. He emphasized that these issues point to a deep flaw in the electoral machinery and accused the commission of amending rules instead of addressing transparency concerns. His comments sparked a strong reaction from the BJP. Party spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari accused Gandhi of defaming India on the international stage. He claimed Gandhi habitually undermines India’s image abroad and called his remarks both anti-democratic and anti-national. This isn't the first time such concerns have been raised. After the Maharashtra elections, both the Congress and the Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance had criticized the Election Commission’s handling of the process and lack of transparency.
