Bhubaneswar, July 11 (Reporter) Rahul Gandhi, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, on Friday lashed out at BJP and Election Commission of India alleging that “a new conspiracy has been hatched to ‘steal’ the upcoming Bihar election”. Addressing the ‘Samvidhan Bachao Samavesh’ here at Baramunda Ground, the senior congress leader charged that the election was ‘stolen’ in Maharashtra in the past, similarly an attempt to steal Bihar election is being made. “BJP is attacking the constitution throughout the country. Yesterday, I was in Bihar. As the election was stolen in Maharashtra, Election Commission of India in collusion with BJP is acting in a similar fashion to steal Bihar election”, he said. Accusing ECI of hatching a new conspiracy to steal the election in Bihar, he said the top poll body is acting like an agent of BJP and is not doing its duty. Citing the alleged manipulative practices in Maharashtra, Gandhi said “as many as one crore new voters were added in between the Lok Sabha and Assembly polls. Nobody knows who these voters are and from where they came. We have appealed to the ECI several times to provide us with the voters list, videography, but it has not paid heed to our plea”. Criticising the Odisha model of BJP-led governance, he said, “The lone work of the BJP government in Odisha is to snatch away the wealth of poor people. The previous BJD government did it in the past. Now the BJP government is doing the same. On one side, there are poor and deprived sections, on the other side, there are five to six billionaires and the BJP government”. Dwelling on the mismanagement during Puri Rath Yatra, Gandhi accused the Odisha government of willfully delaying the pulling of the chariot of Lord Jagannath to enable the family of industrialist Gautam Adani to pull the chariots. "This is the Odisha model of governance. Development is being done to serve the interest of two or three industrialists while the wealth of poor, deprived and marginalized sections are being snatched", he pointed out...////...
