BOSTON: Congress leader and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, in a meeting in Boston with the Indian diaspora, alleged that the Election Commission (EC) in India was “compromised”, further stating that there was something very wrong with the system.
Citing the example of the Maharashtra elections, the Congress leader stated that there was an addition of 65 lakh voters to the voter list in two hours, which was impossible.
“More people voted in Maharashtra than the total number of people in Maharashtra, and this is a fact… the Election Commission gave us a figure in the evening around 5.30 pm, and in two hours, around 7.30 pm, 65 lakh voters had voted, which is physically impossible…”, he claimed, addressing the meeting.
“It’s very clear to us that the Election Commission is compromised, there is something very wrong with the system…” he further said.
