BJP's nationwide "Halla Bol" against Rahul Gandhi, INDIA alliance’s campaign against EC

New Delhi, Sept 27 (UNI) The BJP on Sunday launched a nationwide "Halla Bol" against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and the INDIA alliance over their allegations against the Election Commission, with party chief ministers and state leaders in Opposition-ruled states accusing them of "conspiring to malign the country’s constitutional institutions and spreading lies."
According to a statement issued by the party, "the EC has given a point-by-point and fact-based clarification on all the fabricated allegations levelled by the Opposition, thereby setting the record straight. Despite this, the Congress and its allies, frustrated by their repeated electoral defeats, remain determined to undermine constitutional propriety in an attempt to conceal their failures," they said.
"From north to south and east to west, this misinformation aimed at weakening the country’s democratic framework and creating anarchy is being strongly countered across the nation," they added.
Among those who condemned the Opposition's campaign were Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma, Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary and West Bengal CM Suvendu Adhikari.
In states where BJP/NDA governments are not in power, respective State BJP presidents or Leaders of the Opposition held press conferences.
Fadnavis launched a sharp attack on Rahul Gandhi, saying, “No votes have been stolen; Rahul Gandhi’s mind has been stolen.” Adityanath accused Opposition parties of "spreading confusion regarding the SIR", while Sarma described them as an “alliance of defeated people”.
Karnataka Legislative Assembly Leader of the Opposition R. Ashoka and Legislative Council Leader of the Opposition Chalavadi Narayanaswamy attacked the Congress and accused it of "fabricating a story to conceal its failures."
In Kerala, State BJP General Secretary Anoop Antony said that senior Kerala Congress leaders are supporting SIR, while Rahul Gandhi is "spreading lies." UNI VS CDS
