NEW DELHI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday accused the BJP of attempting to overturn the electoral mandate in the Gokul Milk Cooperative elections in Maharashtra’s Kolhapur, alleging that the rules were changed after the Congress-led panel defeated the BJP-backed Mahayuti alliance.
In a post on X, Rahul Gandhi alleged that the BJP changed the rules after the election to secure a majority on the board of directors, calling it “theft of the milk producers’ votes”.
“In Gokul, milk producers have defeated the BJP. So the BJP changed the rules after the election stuff in 4 directors, turn 12 into 16, steal the majority. This is theft of the milk producers’ votes adulteration in the mandate. The BJP has become so desperate that it’s going to any lengths everywhere to save power. Those who steal the milk producers’ votes, remember farmers don’t forget,” Rahul Gandhi said.
