Baseless: Election Commission on Rahul Gandhi’s charge against CEC Gyanesh Kumar

The poll body acknowledged that certain unsuccessful attempts were made to delete electors in Karnataka’s Aland Assembly Constituency, and an FIR was filed by the Election Commission of India to investigate the matter.

he Election Commission on Thursday dismissed allegations by Congress MP Rahul Gandhi that names of voters were being systematically deleted ahead of elections as “incorrect” and “baseless”.

Taking umbrage towards Gandhi’s claim that Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar was protecting “vote chors”, the poll watchdog said no voters can be deleted online by the public.
