In a strongly worded rebuttal running into 21 pages, the poll panel said Kharge’s allegations in a letter to INDIA leaders and posted on social media was part of a “design in creating a false narrative” during the poll period and pointed out that no Congress candidates ever complained about the electoral roll, votes polled or filed any petition in the last three years based on any discrepancy in data. It said the charges were meant to “create confusion, misdirection and impediments in the conduct of free and fair polls”.
