New Delhi:
Congress leader Pawan Khera strongly responded to the BJP’s allegations that he possessed two voter ID cards, turning the tables by stating that the attack was effectively aimed at the Election Commission (EC).
Khera, who faced accusations from the ruling BJP of violating electoral norms, clarified that the responsibility of issuing voter ID cards lies solely with the Election Commission of India. “They wanted to target us, but ended up targeting the EC itself,” he remarked.
The controversy sparked after BJP leaders accused Khera of holding two valid voter IDs, a charge that the Congress leader dismissed as politically motivated. He emphasized that such claims were not only misleading but also an attempt to undermine the credibility of the Election Commission ahead of elections.
Khera further pointed out that the BJP’s repeated focus on such issues reveals a strategy of deflection from pressing concerns like unemployment, inflation, and governance. “Instead of addressing real issues, they are trying to create distractions,” he added.
This incident has once again intensified the ongoing war of words between the BJP and Congress, reflecting the politically charged atmosphere as elections draw near.
