Madhya Pradesh Minister Kailash Vijaywargiya has criticised Rahul Gandhi for his "vote theft" allegations, labelling him an "irresponsible" opposition leader who is defaming the nation. Vijaywargiya’s comments were in response to Gandhi's claims that the Election Commission of India (ECI) has colluded with the ruling BJP and failed to uphold the 'one man, one vote' principle.
Talking to reporters in Indore, Vijaywargiya said he has never seen such an "irresponsible Opposition" in the history of independent India, which is defaming the nation, considered the world's largest democracy, by making baseless allegations.

"The whole world lauds the fair elections held in India, but Rahul Gandhi is tired of losing elections and has lost his mental balance, which is why he is making such statements. I think a person with a healthy mind cannot make such statements," he said.
Vijaywargiya, a former Bharatiya Janata Party national general secretary, pointed out that the Congress has lost 27 elections in the last 13 years under Gandhi’s leadership. He claimed that the Congress leader is unwilling to take responsibility for his party's defeats and is instead blaming the Election Commission.
