Election Fraud Claims: BJP exposes Rahul Gandhi’s Baseless Attack on Democracy [Video]

Election Fraud Claims: BJP exposes Rahul Gandhi’s Baseless Attack on Democracy

Rahul Gandhi has once again resorted to Election Fraud Claims to cast doubt on India's electoral system. From raising questions on EVMs to now alleging "match-fixing" in Maharashtra, his narrative of Election Fraud Claims has no evidence. Devendra Fadnavis, Eknath Shinde, and JP Nadda have all slammed these Election Fraud Claims, calling them an insult to the people’s verdict. The Election Commission, too, has dismissed these charges as unfounded and misleading. Repeating Election Fraud Claims after every defeat weakens democracy and insults honest voters. It's time to reject fake narratives and trust the electoral process. #ElectionFraudClaims #RahulGandhiExposed #TrustElectionsIndia #DemocracyNotDrama #ECIClarifies
