Rahul Says Evasive Reply as EC Refutes Maha Poll 'Rigging'

A heated exchange broke out, with both sides coming out in defense of their arguments.

The BJP launched a sharp counter-attack against the 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."
