Congress stages Mumbai protest against EC over voter fraud claims

Mumbai, Aug 8 (UNI) Maharashtra Congress workers held a protest here today targeting the Election Commission of India (ECI), amplifying allegations of electoral malpractice recently levelled by senior party leader Rahul Gandhi.
The demonstration followed Gandhi's claims yesterday that Indian democracy faces a serious threat, necessitating judicial intervention. He specifically pointed to Maharashtra, alleging an unprecedented surge in voter registrations.
Gandhi stated that over one crore new voters were added to the state's rolls in just five months between the Lok Sabha and Vidhan Sabha elections – a figure he claimed exceeds the total additions made over the preceding five years.
