The Election Commission has reacted strongly to the allegations of disturbances in the voter list made by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for Karnataka Lok Sabha elections 2024. The Commission has said that if no election petition (petition challenging elections) has been filed, then what is the rationale for making such baseless allegations now?
Questioning Rahul Gandhi’s allegations, the Election Commission said that no Congress candidate lost in Karnataka Lok Sabha elections 2024 has filed any election petition under Section 80 of the Representation of People Act 1951. According to the Election Commission, not a single appeal was filed on the voter list of Karnataka by the Congress or any representative under Section 24 of the Representation of the People Act 1950.
Rule of Election Petition filed within 45 days
The Commission said that according to the rules, an election petition has to be filed against any election result within 45 days. If this happens, the Election Commission protects the related material, otherwise there is a provision to remove it. The Election Commission described Rahul Gandhi’s statement as ‘unfair and threatened’ and said that it is very unfortunate to target ECI as a constitutional institution.
Along with this, the Election Commission has also asked Rahul Gandhi that if no legal petition is filed, then on this level, questioning the election process at this level and targeting the Chief Election Commissioner is being done for the purpose?
Rahul Gandhi raised questions on Election Commission
Earlier, Rahul Gandhi has claimed the Election Commission of rigging and incorrectly adding and cutting the names of voters, claiming that he has a figure of an assembly seat in Karnataka, which proves how the Election Commission disturbs the voter list.
