BJP has filed a complaint against Congress leader and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi to the Election Commission 9 days before the polling for the Maharashtra elections.
Union Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal on Monday said that Rahul Gandhi is spreading false propaganda against the BJP in rallies in Maharashtra. He said that Rahul had said in the November 6 rally that the BJP wanted to trample the Constitution. This allegation is baseless. Rahul tries to pit states against each other. He has flouted the constitution.
We have told the Election Commission that this should be stopped. Rahul Gandhi is used to making such baseless allegations. They do not hesitate to do so despite warnings and instructions. An FIR should be lodged against Rahul under section 353 of BNS.
4 more statements of Rahul… against which BJP approached the Election Commission
- If we look at all the industries and jobs, people from SC-ST community and minority community are not found there. People coming from poor class also do not get a place.
- If you want a job somewhere then become a member of RSS. This membership will get you job anywhere. It will not even look at what your qualifications are or what you are capable of.
- The factory where the youth were supposed to get employment was taken away from you, your land is being taken away from you.
- ED, CBI and Election Commission work at the behest of the Central Government. BJP uses these institutions to topple the opposition government.
Congress has also complained to the Election Commission
A Congress delegation filed eight complaints against the BJP to the Election Commission on Monday regarding the Jharkhand and Maharashtra assembly elections.
In which the BJP has been accused of sharing a picture promoting communalism. Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh has mentioned the picture posted on BJP's 'X'.
Jairam Ramesh said- The picture wrongly shows that a person from the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Other Backward Classes is taking a person from a religious minority community out of the rickshaw.
Jairam Ramesh said- The caption of this picture says that the appeasement game of Congress-led MVA is going on. This image incites people against a particular religion. The Election Commission has upheld our complaints.

If the Maharashtra Assembly elections follow the same trend as the Lok Sabha elections, the BJP will suffer. BJP will be reduced to around 60 seats. At the same time, an opposition coalition survey projected MVA to get 160 seats. Maratha movement is the biggest challenge for BJP. Apart from this, people sympathize with Uddhav Thackeray and Sharad Pawar after the split between Shiv Sena and NCP.
