MUMBAI: Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis has accused senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of "defaming the country" and its democratic image on global platforms by targeting the Election Commission of India (ECI). Fadnavis claimed Gandhi had "insulted the country" and its democratic character.

Fadnavis was responding to charges made by the former Congress president, that the ECI was compromised. Gandhi said this at an event in Boston, in the US, while addressing the Indian diaspora. Fadnavis was later asked by senior Congress leader Pawan Khera why the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the ECI were so quick to defend each other.
