Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday launched a sharp attack on the Election Commission, criticising it for asking him to submit an affidavit under oath in response to his recent allegations. Addressing the ‘Vote Adhikar Rally’ in Bengaluru, Gandhi said that he had already taken an oath inside Parliament while holding the Constitution and stood firmly by his claim of widespread vote theft during the recent Lok Sabha elections. The Rae Bareli MP accused the Election Commission of working in tandem with the BJP to manipulate the election outcome. “The EC is asking me to submit an affidavit and give information under oath. But I have already taken oath inside Parliament, holding the Constitution,” he said, drawing applause from the rally attendees.
