Rahul Gandhi Vs Gyanesh Kumar: 200 Officers Claim Escalates Election Commission Row

A political face-off has intensified over the Election Commission, with Rahul Gandhi claiming that around 200 government officers are in touch with the Congress and sharing information from departments including the Enforcement Directorate, CBI and the Ministry of External Affairs. Gandhi said the truth was on his side. Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan hit back, accusing the Congress of blaming constitutional institutions for its electoral defeats and arguing that the party’s top leadership was responsible for its losses. The exchange comes amid protests and sharp allegations involving the Election Commission, with both sides trading accusations over democracy, institutions and political accountability.
