The BJP is leaving no stone unturned to reject the claims made by Rahul Gandhi over the "vote theft" by ECI as it accused the Congress leader of spreading misinformation and targeting constitutional bodies.

Union minister Bhupender Yadav said, "His (Rahul Gandhi's) opening statement yesterday was that there has been an addition of 1 crore voters in Maharashtra... According to the ECI, there was an increase of only 40 lakh voters. This is straight-up 60% less than what Gandhi said," Yadav informed. "In Maharashtra, they have won most of their seats in places where the votes have increased," Yadav added.

The Union minister condemned Gandhi for using intimidating language directed at ECI officials. "For the past few days, our LoP Rahul Gandhi talked about releasing an atom bomb... If truth be told, the aggression in the language spoken by Congress's 'Yuvraj' and the country's LoP was for ECI officials. Does such language suit the position he holds? If someone attacks the valour of our forces, it is Rahul Gandhi. They never miss out on criticising the remarks of the Supreme Court," he added.
