Rahul Gandhi Slams 'EC's Capitulation Before Modi & His Gang'

Congress president Rahul Gandhi says the Election Commission used to be feared and respected but not anymore.

As the 2019 Lok Sabha elections wound to a close, Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Sunday deplored the Election Commission for its alleged “capitulation” before Prime Minister Narendra Modi “and his gang”, which he said was obvious to everyone.

Opposition parties, including the Trinamool Congress and Telugu Desam Party, have written to the Election Commission against the Prime Minister's visit to Uttarakhand and his praying at the Kedarnath and Badrinath shrines and meditating there draped in saffron, as a violation of the Model Code of Conduct, as campaigning for the last phase had officially ended.
