What is the concrete opinion of Congress on cleanliness of elections?? If clean elections are not being held in the country, So what is his preparation on this question? Such complaints cannot be resolved by going to the Election Commission or the judiciary.
As expected, the Election Commission has rejected Congress’ complaint of irregularities in Haryana elections. He has described Congress’s allegations as ‘baseless, misleading and far from facts’. The commission stopped only here. He warned Congress to desist from making such allegations in future. The Commission has alleged that by making such ‘general’ allegations, the Congress is spreading false narratives without any evidence.
The Commission has said that such things are said when the day of voting or counting of votes approaches, which can create an inflammatory atmosphere. After the defeat in Haryana elections, Congress had filed complaints of manipulation in electronic voting machines in several constituencies. It was said that in some areas EVMs were found to be in a charged state up to 99 percent, which is generally not possible. Now that the Commission has rejected these complaints outright, the question is what will Congress do? Will she go to the Supreme Court despite the full possibility that the argument will not be accepted? Or will she quietly leave this issue here and get busy in the next elections? It can be predicted that if the India alliance loses anywhere in Maharashtra or Jharkhand, such complaints will be raised again.
The Commission is right that the opposition creates such a narrative after every defeat. It is true that if the opposition wins, then it starts celebrating. The issue is what is the concrete opinion of Congress on the cleanliness and fairness of elections? If she believes that clean elections are not being held in the country, has she tried to build a common opinion on this question with the India Alliance partners? Such complaints cannot be resolved by going to the Election Commission or the judiciary. Congress’s allegations are serious. So the first condition is that the party itself should take it seriously. If so, then he should prepare for a massive mass movement. Otherwise, this serious question should be stopped being raised seriously.
