"Match-Fixing": Rahul Gandhi On Kejriwal And Soren's Arrest Ahead Of Lok Sabha Elections At INDI Alliance Rally

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday (31 March) alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is attempting "match-fixing" in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

He said that umpires (most likely he was referring to the appointment of two Election Commissioners earlier this month) were chosen by Modi and two players of our team were arrested before the match started.

Speaking at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan in 'Loktantra Bachao' (save democracy) rally of INDI Alliance, Gandhi said, "They can't cross 180 if they don't hack EVMs, pressurise social media and media and other leaders."

Pointing towards the freezing of Congress' bank accounts, Gandhi questioned what kind of elections are these where leaders like Arvind Kejriwal and Hemant Soren are being arrested.

"When the constitution ends, India will not survive. States will get separated... They will cancel the constitution after winning 400 seats," he said adding that no power in the world can suppress India's voice.

"If you people don't come out in large numbers to vote, their match-fixing will succeed. These elections are not ordinary, they are to save India, constitution and everyone's rights," Gandhi said.

In an indirect incitement to violence, he said, "If BJP wins after match-fixing and then changes constitution, then the country will be on fire. Remember what I said. These elections are to save India."
