Mumbai:
Responding to Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi’s accusations against the Election Commission, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis launched a sharp counterattack, dismissing the claims as baseless and defamatory.
“There has been no theft of votes — not in Maharashtra, nor anywhere else in the country,” Fadnavis said. Taking a jibe, he added, “Rahul Gandhi ke dimaag ki chip chori ho gayi hai aur unki hard disk corrupt ho gayi hai.”
Fadnavis accused Gandhi of spreading lies to cover up electoral setbacks. “He is trying to steal the public’s mandate through lies and slander. He’s maligning constitutional bodies like the Election Commission to justify his failures and future losses,” he said.
The Chief Minister strongly condemned Gandhi’s remarks, asserting that “the public will teach him a lesson in the upcoming elections.”
