Rahul's article has created a political upheaval, says Maha Cong chief

Mumbai, June 7 (UNI) The Maharashtra Congress has reiterated its demand for a thorough investigation into party leader Rahul Gandhi's charge in a leading daily on Saturday that the BJP-led Mahayuti government came to power by stealing votes in assembly elections 2024.
"The sudden increase in voting (for the Assembly polls in 2024) was completely illegal and fraudulent. The Congress demanded an investigation, but no investigation has been initiated," said Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee chief Harsh Vardhan Sapkal on Saturday.
"Rahul Gandhi has repeatedly raised this issue inside and outside Parliament. Today, his article published in the country's leading newspaper has created a political upheaval and the demand for an independent investigation into election fixing has intensified", said Sapkal.
Speaking to media at Tilak Bhavan, Sapkal said Congress and Rahul Gandhi have raised the issue of voting scam with data. This is not just an allegation, but a demand with facts and evidence that there should be a fair investigation. "But Prime Minister Narendra Modi did not say a single word on it in his one-and-a-half-hour speech in Parliament, which is a very serious and worrying situation for democracy", he alleged.
He said a Congress delegation had raised the matter before the Election Commission at length, but instead of clarifying the situation and bringing out the truth, the Commission remained silent. "Not only this, the rules were changed, according to which it will no longer be possible to provide information on video recording and CCTV footage, which is a direct attack on democracy," he added.
