The Congress party has strongly accused the Election Commission of acting as a 'department of the BJP' and facilitating 'vote chori' through the manipulation of electoral rolls. General Secretary K.C. Venugopal highlighted concerns over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in Bihar, alleging it is not for democracy but for vote theft, and criticized the EC's reluctance to use Aadhaar as identity proof despite a Supreme Court order. The party, with leaders like Rahul Gandhi, is campaigning extensively against the Election Commission, asserting it is compromising the integrity of free and fair elections.
