"Opposition parties and their affiliated civil societies have systematically orchestrated campaigns over the past several years to target the judiciary and the Election Commission of India. The pattern is clear: first, target the institutions; then, the election process; and if court verdicts do not favour them, target the judicial verdicts," the BJP said in its complaint.
The complaint letter signed by Union Ministers Nirmala Sitharaman and Piyush Goel, BJP leaders Om Pathak and Sanjay Mayukh stated that numerous petitions have been filed challenging the integrity of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs), Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trails (VVPATs), and the counting process. "The Supreme Court has consistently rejected these conspiracy theories and questioned the bona fides of these petitions, highlighting their baseless nature. These actions are a clear attempt to undermine the authority of the Supreme Court and the ECI," it said.
