The issue of alleged vote tampering is fueling political debate in the nation. Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition, recently made serious accusations regarding discrepancies in the voter lists. Initially, the Election Commission requested an affidavit from Rahul Gandhi and suggested he offer an apology. The Election Commission has now arranged a meeting with a 30-member delegation from the opposition.
Today, opposition MPs will meet with the Election Commission. The meeting is scheduled for 12:00 PM. Following Rahul Gandhi’s concerns, Jairam Ramesh also requested a meeting to discuss the voter list irregularities. The Election Commission responded by inviting a group of 30 individuals.
The Election Commission of India Secretariat wrote a letter to Congress MP Jairam Ramesh stating that the Election Commission has granted an appointment for interaction at 12:00 PM today and requested that due to limited space, the names of up to 30 persons be provided.
A delegation from the Congress/opposition is scheduled to meet at 12 noon. The Election Commission has notified Jairam Ramesh via a letter. Today, opposition MPs will march to the Election Commission from Parliament House starting at 11:30 AM. The Congress previously requested a meeting. The names of the members of the delegation are yet to be revealed. It is yet to be seen which opposition leaders will be meeting the Election Commission.
The controversy surrounding the voter list is ongoing. Rahul Gandhi and other opposition figures are posing various questions to the Election Commission. Rahul has directly accused the Election Commission of vote theft and has launched a campaign, including a website, to involve the public in addressing these issues.
