The Congress on Saturday escalated its attack on the Election Commission, with senior party leader Ashok Gehlot alleging that the poll body has failed to respond to questions raised by Rahul Gandhi over alleged “vote theft” during the Haryana elections.
In a post on X, Gehlot said the BJP, which “fell short of the 272-seat mark after being caught in the act of theft,” had now “got 272 people to sign a letter against Rahul Gandhi to defend the Election Commission.”
