In a strong rebuttal to the Election Commission’s (EC) response to his allegations, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has escalated his criticism of the EC’s handling of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar. Gandhi, who recently launched his ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’ to address issues related to voter list discrepancies, accused the EC of facilitating “vote theft” and corruption, particularly targeting the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
