Lok Sabha LoP Rahul Gandhi says

Election Commission itself is stating that the 2024 Lok Sabha election is an illegal election, and the people who entered the Lok Sabha, the BJP people who entered the Lok Sabha, did so illegally

13.3 crore voters were deleted. That is one in every seven Indians. 15% of India's voters were deleted. In the last Lok Sabha election, these voters supposedly voted. The difference between the opposition and those who won the election was a 3% vote margin. So the election was won by a 3% vote, and now the Election Commission itself is saying that 15% of those voters should never have voted. Which means that the Election Commission itself is stating that the 2024 Lok Sabha election is an illegal election.

By Simple Logic Opposition Claims BJP Won Election in Bihar, Bengal Delhi, Maharashtra by changing the Electoral Roll using SIR, now Rahul Gandhi says BJP won because those same people Voted in the 2024 Lok Sabha Election. Does it makes any sense at all?

God Save this Country from this Man Child!!! #Opinion

Opposition keeps shouting that 13.3 Crore people were deleted from the Electoral Role.

The last SIR was conducted in 2004.

Now EC says 2.8 Crore Voters are dead in those 13.3 Crore Voters. So According to Opposition by some magic people stopped dying in India??

3 Crore People are untraceable, they themselves didn't turn out to fill the form for SIR? Is this EC fault if these people aren't turning out?

1 Crore people were found with Duplicate Entries in the List? So should we allow such People on the list?

And 6.3 Crore people Shift their Location within the County so they had multiple Voter IDs. So according to Opposition a person should be allowed to have more than one Vote in different States?

Scenes from India Gate this morning without the infamous smog.

PM Narendra Modi said –

Who is Secretly meeting whom on foreign soil? Who is being backed by foreign forces? We must identify these patterns.

He also talks about social media manipulation being used to spread misinformation and tarnish India’s image.

The threat of Naxalism may have been eliminated from India’s remotest corners, but the battle against "Dimagi Naxals" is far from over.
