RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on Sunday accused the Narendra Modi government of ‘hijack’ constitutional institutions like the Election Commission and said that the ruling BJP comes to know about election programs before the announcement of dates.
The former Deputy Chief Minister also claimed that the last state assembly elections held in 2020 had not been fair and supported the doubts raised by Rahul Gandhi on the coalition partner Congress regarding the Maharashtra elections.
Yadav told reporters, “The fact cannot be denied that all constitutional bodies have been hijacked since the NDA government led by Narendra Modi came to power in 2014. It is quite surprising that BJP’s IT cell is known before the announcement of dates by the Election Commission. We are monitoring the events.”
He said that constitutional institutions need to work independently. He expressed surprise how people can expect justice if people were affected.
The RJD leader said, “People know what happened in the 2020 assembly elections in the state. We had to form a government. ECI held three press conferences to explain why the counting of votes was stopped in the evening. But why it was resumed at night? The grand alliance candidates who were declared the winner were declared the winner.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had recently alleged rigging in the 2024 Maharashtra election, which was won by the BJP -led coalition.
In an article, the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha accused the Maharashtra elections of “match -fixing” and claimed that the next time it would be in Bihar elections and wherever the BJP is losing “.
The Election Commission rejected the charge.
