Gandhi would boycott engineered elections, says opinion piece on 'Gyaneshgate'

An opinion piece argues that those invoking Mahatma Gandhi's legacy in the ongoing 'Gyaneshgate' controversy have overlooked a fundamental principle he would champion: boycotting what it describes as engineered elections.

The piece suggests that Gandhi's approach to political challenges centered on principled action against systems perceived as unjust. According to the writer, the current invocation of Gandhi's name in the controversy fails to address deeper questions about electoral processes and their legitimacy.
