BJP CMs counter-attack, demand opposition apology for its 'fabricated' campaign

BJP stepped up its counterattack against opposition members, especially Rahul Gandhi, over their offensive against EC, as the party's CMs cited the poll body's clarification to accuse them of orchestrating a fabricated campaign."Rahul Gandhi and INDI Alliance lied about SIR and they should apologise to people," UP CM Yogi Adityanath said.Maharashtra's Devendra Fadnavis, Assam's Himanta Biswa Sarma, Rajasthan's Bhajan Lal Sharma, Bihar's Samrat Choudhary and West Bengal's Suvendu Adhikari were among BJP's CMs who attacked the opposition, a day after BJP's allies hit out at Congress and its allies, as the governing alliance sought to project a picture of unity and cohesion.Fadnavis said, "No votes have been stolen. Rahul Gandhi's mind has been stolen." Rahul wanted to malign institutions under the guise of defending Constitution and create anarchy so that people lose faith in the system and the country can be pushed towards communist ideology, he alleged.Choudhary said the campaign was taking place because the opposition was unable to carry out "booth capturing".Get the latest India News and Live updates.
