In a bold escalation of his party’s ongoing standoff with the Election Commission of India (ECI), Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has taken his allegations of voter fraud to a new level — by publicly naming and standing beside citizens who claim they were disenfranchised during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. The move is part of a larger strategy by the INDIA bloc, a coalition of opposition parties, which is now actively considering launching an impeachment motion against Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar.
