New Delhi [India], April 21 (ANI): BJP National spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla on Monday took a dig at Rahul Gandhi over his EC remarks at Boston and said that his aim was to humiliate Indian organisations and institutions on foreign soil.
'Rahul Gandhi's identity is to humiliate Indian organisations and institutions on foreign soil. He goes abroad and makes comments on India's Constitution, judiciary, and questions the Election Commission of India (ECI). This shows how people, while going against PM Modi, have started going against the country,' Shehzad Poonawalla said.
Poonawalla also stated that the claims made by Rahul Gandhi about the EC had been cleared.
'The whole world appreciates the Election Commission of India, but Rahul Gandhi and his ecosystem have decided to speak against the country... the EC had cleared all the claims made, and he spoke on them again so that there could be a doubt against India's organisations...' Poonawalla further stated.
Meanwhile, party spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari stated that Rahul could not win the trust of the Indian electorate and has started to question the Indian democratic process on foreign soil.
In a post on X, Bhandari wrote, 'Anti-democracy, anti-India Rahul Gandhi, who could not win the trust of the Indian electorate, begins to question the Indian democratic process on foreign soil.'
Bhandari also questioned why Rahul Gandhi defamed India on foreign soil, further stating that he was an agent of George Soros, who was fighting the Indian state.
'Why does Rahul always defame India on foreign soil? An agent of George Soros who is fighting the Indian state - that's what Rahul Gandhi's intent today is,' the post further reads.
The party's criticism follows after the Congress leader, while addressing the diaspora in Boston, alleged that the Election Commission (EC) in India was 'compromised,' further stating that there was something fundamentally wrong with the system.
Citing the example of the Maharashtra elections, the Senior Congress leader stated that there was an addition of 65 lakh voters to the voter list in two hours, which was impossible.
'More people voted in the Maharashtra Assembly elections than there are adults in the state of Maharashtra. The Election Commission provided us with a voting figure for 5:30 PM, and between 5:30 PM and 7:30 PM, 65 lakh voters cast their votes. This is physically impossible to happen. For a voter to vote, it takes approximately 3 minutes. If you do the Math, it would mean that there were lines of voters until 2 AM, but this did not happen. When we asked them for the videography, they not only refused but they also changed the law so that now we are not allowed to ask for the videography,' he claimed, addressing the meeting.
'It's very clear to us that the Election Commission is compromised, and there is something very wrong with the system. I have said this multiple times, ' he further said. (ANI)
