From New Delhi on February 20, Congress leader Udit Raj lambasted the Election Commission for not matching the government’s Digital India feats with voter data transparency.
‘India boasts digital IDs for 1.4 billion—yet the ECI won’t release voter lists electronically,’ Raj fumed. Echoing Rahul Gandhi, he criticized the absence of anti-duplication tech, questioning if financial hurdles or malice is at play.
This shortfall compromises election credibility, he stressed, urging swift rectification.
On social fronts, Raj prioritized caste equality over demographic scares. He attributed UGC backlash to entrenched caste biases, not Muslims or Christians, and debunked sword-propaganda tales about Islam.
Pervasive hate, Raj charged, stems from attacks on Rahul Gandhi by figures like Kiren Rijiju, evoking memories of pre-Gandhi assassination propaganda by RSS and allies.
Linked threats from Karni Sena elements heighten fears of violence. Raj’s broadside demands ECI overhaul, tech integration, and toning down divisive speech to preserve national unity.
