Union Minister Ramdas Athawale on Friday accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of 'blackmailing' voters by spreading false narratives ahead of the Lok Sabha elections.
Athawale claimed that Gandhi's assertions, which suggested the BJP would alter the Constitution and abolish reservations if it secured 400 seats, misled the electorate in several key states, leading to seat losses for the ruling party.
The minister reiterated that despite these tactics, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance achieved a majority, securing 292 seats, showcasing their resilience against opposition efforts.
