Congress leader and former Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel launched a blistering attack on the Election Commission and the ruling BJP, accusing them of facilitating “vote theft” and undermining democracy.
Speaking on Wednesday, Baghel said, “Lok Sabha MPs marched towards the Election Commission, more than 250 MPs were heading towards the Election Commission's office, but the Delhi Police stopped them midway. The questions Rahul Gandhi asked the Election Commission have not been answered till date, and the answers to these questions hold the essence of democracy.”
He warned that democracy in India is under threat and called for urgent action to prevent electoral malpractice. “If we want to save democracy, we must stop vote theft, which is why all MPs raised the slogan ‘Vote Chor Gaddi Chhod.’ This slogan has now reached the public,” Baghel declared.
In a major political move, Baghel announced that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will launch a 15-day padyatra in Bihar starting August 17. The march will culminate with a massive rally at Gandhi Maidan in Patna on September 1, which will be attended by all key leaders of the INDIA alliance.
