'We'll take action against you': Rahul Gandhi warns Election Commission of stern action if INDIA bloc takes power
PTC News Desk: In a scathing attack on Election Commission over Special Intensive Revision in Bihar, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Monday warned of initiating action against the chief election commissioner and the two election commissioners for vote theft if the INDIA bloc forms the government.
During his address to a gathering in Bihar's Gaya, Gandhi asserted that poll panel had asked him to file an affidavit, even after Election Commission's vote theft was exposed.
"I want to tell the Election Commission that the whole country will ask you to give an affidavit. Give us some time, we will catch your theft in every assembly and Lok Sabha seat, and put it before the people," he said.
"Like PM (Narendra) Modi ji talks of a special package, the Election Commission has brought a special package for Bihar named SIR, which means a new form of vote theft," Gandhi said in his address, during second day of the Voter Adhikar Yatra with RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav by his side.
"Whatever I say, I do it. You have seen that I don't lie from the stage... these three election commissioners... I want to tell them that it is Modi ji's government right now. Tejashwi ji said that you (election commissioners) have taken BJP membership and are working for them," he alleged.
"But understand one thing, a day will come that there will be an INDIA bloc government in Bihar and in Delhi; then we will take action against the three of you. You've stolen (vote) from the whole country," he said.
Gandhi's remarks come a day after after Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar slapped a seven-day ultimatum to Gandhi to submit a signed affidavit corroborating his claims, else the allegations would be considered baseless and invalid.
