Wayanad: Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has hit back at the BJP over its response to the controversy surrounding the Election Commission, calling it a “stale and weak story” and claiming there is evidence of alleged electoral irregularities.

Speaking to reporters in Wayanad, Priyanka said, “I'm sorry, that's a very stale and weak story. There are facts, there is evidence. It is there for the whole country to see. My brother (Rahul Gandhi) has shown it in many different press conferences. He has put the evidence forward. Now it is very clear. 13 crore voters have been deleted.”

“This is a lame excuse, and the BJP should stop making lame excuses. If they are meddling with our elections and if their leadership is making the Election Commission do this, then it is an act of treason and they should be aware of it,” she said.

“They are doing an illegal act. How many years has it been that they have been rigging elections? Naturally, they are so overconfident all the time,” Priyanka added.

Asked whether the Congress was planning any protest over the issue, she said the party would decide its next course of action at the upcoming Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting.

“There is a CWC meeting, I think, for which I am having to go back. So they will decide on that meeting and suppose what the course of action will be,” she said.
