EC blamed after loss: BJP shreds 'vote theft' claim
The New Indian Express Tiruchy
|August 25, 2025
FORMER union minister and BJP MP Ravi Shankar Prasad on Sunday accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and RJD leader Tejashwi Prasad Yadav of spreading 'canards' and making baseless 'vote theft' allegations against his party.
Addressing a press conference at the BJP state headquarters, Prasad said that in the 2024 Lok Sabha election, Samajwadi Party won 37 seats in Uttar Pradesh, while BJP won 33, and Congress six.
"Even in that election, the Election Commission was the same. If people vote for them, then the Commission is fine, but if they lose, then the Commission is bad—how can this logic work?" he asked.
