BJP Launches Counter-Offensive Against Rigged Polls Claims

Hindustan Times · politics

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is initiating a counter-offensive against opposition allegations of rigged elections and a compromised Election Commission. The party aims to prevent the issue from escalating into widespread protests, similar to past movements against farm laws, the CAA, and exam paper leaks. While some within the BJP fear the narrative could gain traction, others believe it will not impact electoral fortunes, citing the Bihar polls where similar allegations were made but the BJP-JDU combine won decisively.
