The Election Commission (EC) held a press conference today in response to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s serious allegations of ‘vote chori’ related to the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar. Gandhi had accused the EC of malpractice and raised concerns about discrepancies in the voter lists. Without directly naming him, the EC issued a stern message, demanding that the individual responsible for creating and presenting a PowerPoint presentation accusing the ECI of misconduct provide an affidavit within seven days. Failure to submit the affidavit would result in the allegations being deemed false. The Election Commission made it clear: either submit the affidavit or issue an apology, with no other options available.
