Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar uttered lies in response to the questions and deliberately evaded many of them in the press conference he addressed in the wake of Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi’s expose of the alleged vote theft in Mahadevapura Assembly Constituency in Karnataka during the 2024 general elections.
It is worthwhile to prove by examining one of the answers of Gyanesh Kumar, in the press conference, that in the words of Ambedkar he “came under the thumb of the executive” and affirmed the apprehensions of SC: “A person (Election Commissioner), who is in a state of obligation or feels indebted to the one who appointed him, fails the nation.”
That answer was concerning Kumar’s demand for an affidavit from Rahul Gandhi with regards to the aforementioned electoral fraud and not asking such an affidavit from Anurag Thakur, Lok Sabha MP, of the ruling BJP who claimed similar allegations in multiple constituencies in several states including in Rae Bareli, UP, from where Rahul Gandhi won the election.
