Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has targeted Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, alleging that he was placed in charge to orchestrate match-fixing in India's elections. This marks the Congress party's initial response despite clarifications issued by the Election Commission of India regarding procedural unanimity, adherence to the Supreme Court order, and extensions granted for deadlines in Delhi and Maharashtra. While the poll body noted that booth level officers would personally visit homes facing issues, Rahul Gandhi raised questions over the appointment process involving top government leadership.
