2024 Lok Sabha Election: BJP Approaches Election Commission After Rahul Gandhi’s Accusations

The BJP leader Tarun Chugh has accused Rahul Gandhi of instigating fights based on language and region, and they have filed a complaint with the Election Commission. Chugh described Gandhi as a habitual liar and conspirator, and alleged that his actions were aimed at diverting people’s attention.

The Congress has approached the Election Commission to demand action against Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s statement that the Congress, if elected, would redistribute the nation’s wealth to impostors. Modi had criticized the Congress manifesto, claiming that it promised to survey everyone’s property, calculate gold owned by mothers and sisters, and then redistribute it, even mentioning that they wouldn’t spare even the mangalsutra.

The Congress strongly condemned these comments as divisive, stating that they were worse than any made by a sitting Prime Minister in the history of India. They insisted that this should not go unchecked, unanswered, or unpunished.

Furthermore, the Congress criticized the Election Commission for not penalizing PM Modi and the BJP for repeatedly invoking religious sentiments, and accused them of blatant and direct violations of electoral laws. They argued that the Commission’s inaction has bolstered such behavior.

In summary, Chugh’s allegations against Rahul Gandhi and the Congress’s demands for action against PM Modi’s comments have escalated the political tensions leading up to the election. The issue of invoking religious sentiments has also become a point of contention between the two parties and the Election Commission, creating a charged atmosphere in the political landscape.
