India’s largest Opposition party is levelling an explosive charge against the Election Commission: vote rigging to favour the Bharatiya Janata Party.
In August, party leader Rahul Gandhi took the example of an Assembly Constituency in Karnataka to illustrate significant errors in the voter rolls. A belligerent Election Commission refused to accept any wrongdoing and instead attacked Gandhi in response.
To unpack the Congress’ allegations, Congress leader Amitabh Dubey is on this episode of Scroll Adda with Shoaib Daniyal.
We get him to explain what the Congress is accusing the EC of and what led it to such a point of no return. We also grilled Dubey on why the Congress’ workers could not catch these errors before the elections.
The implications of the Congress’ allegations are grave. If Indian elections are fixed, why does the Congress take part in them? To this, Dubey says that boycotting elections serves no purpose and only ends up backfiring on the Opposition.
