BJP dismisses Congress protest as political theatre, refutes delegation claims

The BJP on Tuesday rejected Congress allegations regarding electoral processes as baseless political theatrics, with party spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi pointing to an official Election Commission of India statement to bolster the claim. Trivedi cited the ECI's position that neither the Congress party nor any constituent of the opposition INDIA bloc had submitted any formal request for a meeting with the election authorities on the disputed matters. The BJP spokesperson characterized the Congress protest as a manufactured controversy designed to mislead the public and distract from governance issues. The exchange reflects escalating tensions between the ruling party and the opposition ahead of continuing electoral and political developments. The Congress has not immediately responded to the BJP's assertions regarding the Election Commission's statement.
