Congress responsible for its losses, not Election Commission: BJP

The BJP has rejected Congress demands for the removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, characterizing the march as a sign of opposition frustration. BJP representatives criticized Rahul Gandhi during the protests and questioned the credibility of Congress's claims about member attendance at rallies.

Union ministers stated that the Election Commission bears no responsibility for Congress's electoral performance. BJP spokespersons attributed the opposition party's losses to its inability to connect with voters, citing the ruling party's continued electoral success as evidence of stronger voter engagement.
