‘Bring Evidence, Not Allegations’: BJP's Anurag Thakur Slams Rahul Gandhi over CEC Comments

Thakur said Gandhi must back his Election Commission claims with proof and accused him of weakening constitutional institutions.

  • On Monday, BJP MP Anurag Thakur accused Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi of making baseless allegations against the Election Commission and urged him to present evidence instead of engaging in "political gimmicks."
  • Describing Gandhi's political style as "Hawa-Hawai," Thakur alleged the leader repeatedly shifts blame to electronic voting machines and the Chief Election Commissioner when Congress loses elections.
  • Referring to interactions with the Supreme Court and the President, Thakur claimed the judiciary cautioned Gandhi against using courts as political platforms for sub-judice matters.
  • Invoking the Emergency imposed by former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, the BJP leader accused the Congress of historically undermining the Constitution and suggested these events be taught in schools.
  • Stating that the country requires truth and evidence, Thakur accused the Congress of attempting to threaten India's judicial system through "theatrics and tantrums" that spread anarchy.
