The BJP on Thursday hit out at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of “double standards” after an MLA from his party in Kerala reportedly praised the SIR process for “removing a large number of fake voters”.
In a post on social media, BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla said Congress MLA Mathew Kuzhalnadan has “exposed” Gandhi’s “lies” on SIR.
“Congress has exposed Congress. Congress’s MLA in Kerala has said SIR was very good because it cut out fake voters created by the Left and helped the Congress party. That is why the Congress party does not speak against SIR, the Election Commission or EVMs in Kerala,” he said, sharing a video clip of Kuzhalnadan.
In the video shared by Poonawalla, Kuzhalnadan was purportedly heard saying that the “SIR process removed a lot of fake voters in some constituencies at least managed by CPM. So, that also helped us”.
