The Election Commission of India (ECI) on Sunday hit back at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over his “vote chori” allegation. The EC has given him seven days to submit an affidavit with evidence or issue a public apology.Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar said, “There is no third option. If no affidavit is given in 7 days, it means the allegations are false.”
He rejected Gandhi’s claims of double voting and “vote theft” as baseless. The CEC said the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls is being carried out fairly and transparently with the involvement of all stakeholders.
