New Delhi: The former AICC Chief and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in a tweet directly attacked on the Election Commission on Saturday with a two word tweet “Election Commission”.

The Election Commission officials transporting an EVM in a BJP candidate’s car in Assam turn into a huge controversy and a reduction of campaign ban duration on a senior BJP leader. The Election Commission that has since suspended four officials and ordered re-polling in one station in Assam’s Ratabari after the purported video of the EVM being carried in a BJP leader’s vehicle was circulated widely on social media.

This is the only way the BJP can win Assam: by looting EVMs. EVM capturing, like there used to be booth capturing. All under the nose of the Election Commission. Sad day for democracy. #EVM_theft_Assam #AssamAssemblyElection2021 https://t.co/5dmlu67Uui

The tweet also comes on a day when the poll body halved Assam minister and BJP leader Himanta Biswa Sarma’s 48-hour campaign ban for threatening to send Bodoland People’s Front chief Hagrama Mohilary to jail. The BPF was an ally of the BJP, but is now he will be able to campaign on Sunday, the final day before the third and last phase of the assembly election in Assam.

The video that showed an EVM being transported in a car that belonged to the wife of Krishnendu Paul, a BJP candidate in Patharkandi, sparked violence in Karimganj district where the seat is located. Rahul Gandhi in his tweet said that is suggestive of the Election Commission’s alleged inaction that the Congress has claimed regarding this incident and also the leniency showed to Sarma by reducing his campaign ban.
