The Election Commission has asked LoP Rahul Gandhi to share details of wrongful entries and omissions in voters’ list and sign a declaration if he is convinced that his analysis of ‘vote theft’ is correct, sources said but the Congress leader hit back asserting he has already taken oath in Parliament to uphold the Constitution.
According to PTI, As Gandhi continued with his attack on the EC alleging vote theft in at least three states, the poll panel said if he believes in his analysis and feels that his allegations against the EC are true, he should have ‘no problem’ in signing the declaration under electoral rules and submit names wrongfully added or removed from voters’ list, according to the sources.
However, if Gandhi does not sign the declaration, it would mean that he does not believe in his analysis and resultant conclusions and ‘absurd allegations’.
In which case he should apologise to the nation, they felt.
Addressing a Vote Adhikar rally in Bengaluru on Friday, Gandhi said he has already taken oath in Parliament to uphold the Constitution.
