“Show me the petition you (Rahul Gandhi) have filed that 2024 election is illegal,” the BJP’s Sambit Patra said.
The Opposition rally at Delhi’s Ramlila Maidan is a flop show and the people left when Rahul Gandhi was speaking, the BJP has said. “The Congress said there will be a crowd of 10 lakh, but 40 per cent of the ground was empty,” the party said. The crowd shown at the rally was “trick photography… tricks don’t make one Prime Minister,” the party said.
Speaking to reporters later, party spokesperson Sambit Patra said allegations about illegal polls “doesn’t happen from Ramlila grounds”.
“You challenge the elections immediately after the election, not like this… Show me the petition you have filed that 2024 election is illegal,” he said.
“Twice he compared the rally with Shiv-ji ka Baraat… He doesn’t differentiate between the Shiv ki baraat and Shiv Tandav… in the next election you will see Janta ki Tandav,” he added, pointing out that Gyanesh Kumar was appointed after the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
Speaking at the rally today, Gandhi had said that the 2024 election was illegal because of the vote theft conducted by Gyanesh Kumar.
“This theft of votes is no ordinary theft. This is the theft of every voice of India. This is called treason,” Gandhi said. “Without Gyanesh Kumar, neither would Narendra Modi have become Prime Minister nor Amit Shah the Home Minister,” he argued, insisting that Kumar will “go to jail” for the role he played.
