‘EC is compromised, something very wrong in system’, alleges Rahul Gandhi in US

Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi has alleged that the Election Commission in India was “compromised”, saying that there was “something very wrong with the system.”

While addressing the Indian diaspora in Boston, Gandhi cited the example of Maharashtra assembly elections, claiming there was an addition of 65 lakh voters to the voter list in two hours, “which was impossible.”

“More people voted in Maharashtra than the total number of people in Maharashtra, and this is a fact… the Election Commission gave us a figure in the evening around 5:30 p.m., and in two hours around 7:30 p.m., 65 lakh voters had voted, which is physically impossible…” ANI quoted Gandhi as saying.

“It’s very clear to us that the Election Commission is compromised, there is something very wrong with the system…” he further said.
