Addressing media in New Delhi, BJP Spokesperson Sambit Patra said that it was not for the first time that Mr Gandhi has made accusations against Constitutional bodies but he has also targeted earlier.Mr Patra said that Congress leaders and Mr Gandhi do not raise question about the integrity of the Commission in those States where the Congress won elections. He said, in the last Lok Sabha elections, when Congress secured 99 seats, it celebrated the results as a victory . Mr Patra asked, if the Election Commission is compromised then why the Congress celebrated those results. He said, this shows Congress’ apparent selective outrage. Earlier in a press conference in New Delhi, Mr Rahul Gandhi questioned the fairness of recent elections alleging manipulation in electoral rolls.
