The BJP on Tuesday slammed the INDIA bloc’s march to the Election Commission demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar’s resignation.

BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra accused Mr. Gandhi of trying to spread “confusion” and “boost his politics” by misquoting the Supreme Court. Citing the Supreme Court’s Monday hearing on a PIL, Mr. Patra said the court did not say that Form 6 was illegal.

“The Supreme Court did not make any such statement. It has just issued notices. A hearing has not even taken place yet. The CJI has stated that the matter will be examined when a hearing takes place. Yet, Rahul Gandhi is attempting to create an atmosphere of anarchy, lies, deceit, and confusion in the country,” the BJP MP said.

“The Congress has been repeatedly trying to launch and re-launch Rahul Gandhi by any means necessary. When, despite numerous attempts, he failed to gain traction, the Congress and some of its allies decided that even if it meant resorting to anarchy and undermining the nation’s democracy, they would launch Rahul Gandhi politically at any cost,” he said.
