Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the legal immunity granted to the Chief Election Commissioner, questioning why Gyanesh Kumar has what he described as "lifelong blanket legal immunity". In a post on X, Gandhi said, "Q. Why is CEC Gyanesh Kumar the only Indian with lifelong blanket legal immunity? A. Because PM Modi uses him to steal elections."
