Election Commission officials inspected Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's bag in Amravati, Maharashtra, as he arrived for his election campaign on Saturday. The inspection occurred amid a political controversy, with opposition INDIA bloc parties accusing the poll body of selective action, particularly targeting their leaders. A video showed officials inspecting Gandhi’s helicopter and bag, sparking further allegations. This incident followed Congress' complaint regarding restrictions on Gandhi’s helicopter in Jharkhand, which caused delays in his campaign. The BJP defended the checks, calling them routine measures to ensure fair elections. Maharashtra elections are set for November 20, with counting on November 23.
