Congress MP and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi came down heavily on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Election Commission of India (ECI) after their sweeping victory in Assam and West Bengal on Monday. The counting of votes took place for the Assam Assembly Elections 2026 and the West Bengal Assembly Elections 2026.
BJP swept both the states and comfortably crossed the majority mark. Rahul Gandhi slammed the BJP and EC and claimed that more than 100 seats have been stolen in West Bengal and the Congress agree with West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s claims.
Assam and Bengal are clear cases of the election being stolen by the BJP with the support of the EC.
