Congress questions Army, EC, and SC, it has become their method: Jyotiraditya Scindia

Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia criticizes Congress for repeatedly questioning India's institutions like Army, Election Commission, and Supreme Court under PM Modi's leadership.

"It is the habit of Congress to accuse any development, progress and respect of the country - Jyotiraditya Scindia"

Morena, September 13

Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on Saturday hit out at Congress MP and Lok Sabha LoP Rahul Gandhi and said that the Congress party has a habit of questioning the country's institutions like the Army, Election Commission, and Supreme Court.

He said the people of India have repeatedly rejected Congress under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, and added that the party refuses to learn from its mistakes.

Speaking to the reporters, Jyotiraditya Scindia said, "It is the habit of Congress to accuse any development, progress and respect of the country... They question the army, the Election Commission and the Supreme Court... This has become the method of Congress."

"That is why the people of the country have given their answer to Congress not once but repeatedly under the leadership of the Prime Minister. A hint is enough for the wise, but perhaps there are no wise people in Congress for whom any hint is not enough," Scindia said.

Earlier on Thursday, Congress MP and Leader of Opposition (LoP) Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi reiterated his claims of providing "explosive" evidence of alleged vote theft in the previously held assembly elections.

Speaking to reporters, Gandhi asserted that votes being stolen was a "fact".

"We are about to give you dynamic and explosive evidence. The slogan 'vote chor, gaddi chor' is being echoed across the country. The fire is spreading since it is the truth. It is a fact that governments are being formed by stealing votes. We guarantee that we will be providing you with the proofs," he added.

Rahul Gandhi, in a press conference on August 7, levelled serious allegations against the Election Commission of India (ECI), accusing it of direct involvement in large-scale voter fraud, with the Congress having "open-and-shut proof" of the alleged theft.

Gandhi presented Congress' research on voting in the Mahadevapura Assembly in Karnataka. He alleged "vote chori" (vote theft) of 1,00,250 votes.

He launched a scathing attack on the BJP and the Election Commission and said that "collusion" happened between the poll body and the BJP, which resulted in Prime Minister Narendra Modi securing his third term.

However, the EC termed Gandhi's claims "false and misleading," asking him to submit a sworn declaration or apologise, citing voter roll availability in PDF format for privacy concerns.

But shouldn't we have healthy questioning of institutions in a democracy? While Congress might be going overboard, institutions should be open to scrutiny. That's how democracy strengthens.

If Congress has proof of vote theft, they should present it properly instead of making sensational claims. Either put up or shut up. This drama is getting old now.

As an observer, I find it concerning when political parties attack electoral institutions. It undermines democracy itself. Both sides need to be more responsible with their statements.

People have given their verdict clearly in elections. Instead of accepting defeat gracefully, Congress is damaging the very institutions that uphold our democracy. Shameful!

Scindia's point about Congress not learning from mistakes is spot on. They keep repeating the same strategies that people have rejected time and again. When will they understand the new India? 🇮🇳

Interesting to see how Indian politics handles institutional criticism. In mature democracies, questioning institutions is normal but should be evidence-based, not just political rhetoric.
