He accused the Election Commission of large-scale irregularities and alleged that a similar kind of chaos was created by the commission in Madhya Pradesh. Rahul Gandhi said that a few days ago, I had presented the Haryana model. 25 lakh votes were stolen. One out of every eight voters had their vote stolen. This is their system. The main issue is 'vote theft'. We have evidence and we will reveal it one by one. These allegations have been denied by the BJP and the Election Commission.
BJP's Criticism, Rahul is the 'Leader of Tourism'

BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla posted on X, saying, 'For Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition (LoP) means 'Leader of Tourism (Paryatan)' and partying. He criticized that while elections are ongoing in Bihar, Rahul Gandhi is enjoying a jungle safari in Panchmarhi. Poonawalla altered Ghalib's lines to indicate their priorities. And after losing the election, they will blame the ECI.
