If CEC allowed elections to be rigged it’s ‘treason’: Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi

Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra warned on Wednesday that if Election Commission of India (ECI) chief Gyanesh Kumar was aware of rigged elections, it would be an act of treason against the nation. Speaking to reporters in Nilambur, Vadra emphasized that any party involved in such actions should be held accountable following a proper investigation.

She highlighted that her brother Rahul Gandhi has consistently raised concerns about the biases and injustices within the ECI. Vadra stressed that elections are the bedrock of democracy, and any tampering or unfair practices would be a grave assault on the democratic process. The Congress leader called for a thorough examination of the allegations, ensuring transparency to protect the integrity of the democratic system in India.
