The BJP on Sunday deployed 12 chief ministers to counter Rahul Gandhi’s allegations against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, a day before the Congress’s planned nationwide protests demanding his removal. BJP leaders accused Gandhi and the INDIA bloc of questioning the Election Commission’s impartiality and undermining constitutional institutions.
