If what Rahul Gandhi says is true, then it affects us all. The ECI must look into it and assuage the concerns.
The ECI is an independent body which is necessarily politically neutral. So I do not see any reason why a BJP spokesperson should go to such lenghts to explain things. There is not reason to support the ECI. They must be held to account as must every government.
As pointed out in the article, there has been election fraud before. Booth rigging has happend and similarly voter list manipuation has also evidently happend.
I also recall the blatant cheating that happend during the Chandigarh municipal elections a few years ago where an official was caught disfiguring legitimate votes to ensure that the non-BJP candidate would not win.
We also saw unusual voting patterns in past state elections.
If trust is to be restored, the ruling part must change the law that they themselves brought and make the process of choosing the CEC and ECI more equable with equal representation from the ruling party and the opposition. The questions is, will they do so? If not, lets not discuss who is irrresponsible.
