Apologise to EC for Lying or Be Called Out as Frauds: Keralam BJP Chief Rajeev Chandrasekhar, CM Satheesan Spar over Rahul Gandhi's Remarks

Chandrasekhar said he would drop the "fraud" label if Gandhi apologizes to the prime minister and the Election Commission.

  • On Sunday, Keralam BJP president Rajeev Chandrasekhar responded to Chief Minister V D Satheesan's criticism, defending his personal attacks on Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi as justified by Gandhi's "lies, insults and divisiveness."
  • Chandrasekhar promised to stop labeling Gandhi a "fraud" if the Congress leader apologizes to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Election Commission for allegedly calling them "deshdrohis" during recent political disputes.
  • This exchange occurs amid broader tensions over the Election Commission's functioning; reports indicate Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi raised objections at least 14 times over 10 months regarding the SIR exercise.
  • The Election Commission reiterated on Saturday that all nationwide SIR decisions received unanimous approval from Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and the other commissioners, dismissing reports of internal differences.
  • Defending his aggressive rhetoric, Chandrasekhar claimed Gandhi's politics relies on "misinformation" and "corruption," alleging the opposition leader's strategy consistently tears down constitutional institutions while contrasting this with his party's governance.
