|June 08, 2025
As Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi stepped up the heat on the Election Commission of India (ECI) alleging "match-fixing" in the 2024 Maharashtra assembly polls Saturday.
A heated exchange broke out, with both sides coming out in defence of their arguments.
The BJP launched a sharp counter-attack against Congress leader, with party president JP Nadda dismissing his article as a "blueprint for manufacturing a fake narrative."
In an article published in both English and various vernacular newspapers, Gandhi alleged that the Maharashtra poll "match-fixing" would next happen in Bihar elections and "anywhere the BJP is losing".
