BJP taunts Oppn
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi Wednesday said he had a unique experience of having tea with some “dead” voters from Bihar and thanked the Election Commission for it.
A group of seven voters from Bihar met the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha at his residence and shared their experience of how they were declared “dead” by the EC and their names removed from the electoral rolls.
“There have been many interesting experiences in life, but I never got the chance to have tea with ‘dead people’. For this unique experience, thank you Election Commission!” Gandhi said in a post in Hindi on X.
