At the Annual Legal Conclave–2025, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi made a series of explosive allegations, claiming that the 2024 Lok Sabha elections were rigged and that he was threatened for opposing the farm laws.

Rahul Gandhi said, "I remember when I was fighting the farm laws, Arun Jaitley ji was sent to me to threaten me. He told me 'if you carry on opposing the govt, fighting the farm laws, we will have to act against you'. I looked at him and said 'I don't think you have an idea who you are talking to'..."

Making a direct charge against the election process in India, he said, "We are going to prove to you in the coming few days how a Lok Sabha election can be rigged and was rigged..."

He further asserted, "The truth is that the election system in India is already dead. The Prime Minister of India is the Prime Minister of India with a very slim majority... If 15 seats were rigged, he would not have been the Prime Minister of India."
