Mallikarjun Kharge reiterated his controversial remarks at an INDIA bloc rally, alleging that the BJP government was formed on a 'stolen mandate' and demanding the resignation of Election Commission of India chief Gyanesh Kumar.
Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has once again drawn attention to his previous comments regarding Prime Minister Narendra Modi, reiterating his stance during a recent rally for the INDIA bloc. The opposition leader accused the ruling party of securing power through a 'stolen mandate,' a claim that has sparked significant political debate.
During the event, Kharge leveled serious allegations against the Election Commission of India (ECI), specifically targeting Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. He alleged that the CEC is 'protecting' the Prime Minister and implied that the integrity of the electoral process is compromised.
Kharge stated that the opposition will not remain silent on these issues until the Election Commission chief resigns. His remarks were made in the context of ongoing tensions between the ruling BJP and the opposition alliance, with the INDIA bloc continuing to organize rallies to highlight their grievances against the central government.
The Congress leader's comments are expected to further intensify the political discourse in the country, as the opposition seeks to rally support around their narrative of electoral irregularities and governance issues.
