"Everywhere BJP will win elections by dishonesty": Congress leader Udit Raj ahead of Bihar polls

Patna (Bihar) [India], June 8 (ANI): Congress leader Udit Raj on Sunday claimed that the BJP is resorting to dishonest means to win elections and similar "dishonest" attempts are being made by the party ahead of the ensuing Bihar polls.
On Bihar Assembly Elections 2025, Congress leader Udit Raj said, "BJP has decided that it will not lose any election. They will win the Bihar elections in the same manner. Everywhere, elections will be won by dishonesty. After Lok Sabha, they won Haryana and Maharashtra dishonestly... We are informing the citizens of the whole country, including the civil society, that this pattern will be there; they will not lose elections anymore, they will win them anyway."
"The Election Commission is responsible for ensuring the integrity and transparency of the electoral process in India. Voter turnout can be influenced by various factors, including voter enthusiasm, awareness, and accessibility to polling stations. Rahul Gandhi has raised questions about the Election Commission's transparency, specifically regarding the release of CCTV footage from electoral rolls, which demands answers", further added the Congress leader to the statement.
On Saturday, Rahul Gandhi alleged that the Maharashtra assembly election held in November 2024 was "rigged" and claimed the same could happen in the upcoming Bihar assembly polls.In a post on X, Gandhi shared his article published in a newspaper, explaining the "rigging" in the Maharashtra assembly polls. "Maharashtra assembly elections in 2024 were a blueprint for rigging democracy. My article shows how this happened, step by step," Gandhi said on X.The former Congress President explained a five-point process.
He said that step one includes rigging the panel that appoints the Election Commission, followed by adding fake voters to the electoral roll. He further claimed that the next steps include inflating the voter turnout, targeting the bogus voting exactly where the BJP needs to win and hiding the evidence."Step 1: Rig the panel for appointing the Election Commission;Step 2: Add fake voters to the roll;Step 3: Inflate voter turnout;Step 4: Target the bogus voting exactly where the BJP needs to win;Step 5: Hide the evidence," Gandhi said.
