New Delhi, July 24 (UNI) Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi today again accused the Election Commission of failing in its constitutional responsibilities and allowing “electoral malpractice in Karnataka”.
Speaking to reporters at the Parliament House complex, Gandhi said, “It’s a serious matter. The Election Commission is not functioning as the Election Commission of India should. Today, they made a statement that’s complete nonsense.”
“The fact of the matter is that Election Commission is not doing its job. Now we have concrete 100 percent proof of Election Commission allowing cheating in a seat in Karnataka, not 90 percent,” he alleged.
Alleging that the malpractice involves large-scale voter registration irregularities and voter deletions in a seat in Karnataka, Gandhi said, “Voter deletion, voter addition, new voters who are above 18, we have caught them”.
“We want to send a message to the Election Commission — If you think you are going to get away with it you are mistaken,” Rahul added.
