Rahul's claim that Prez Murmu accepted 'vote theft' allegation incorrect: Report

NEW DELHI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's claim suggesting President Droupadi Murmu accepted assertions of 'vote theft' is incorrect, sources told news agency PTI."Unfortunate that President of India is being dragged into controversy raised by opposition," sources further told PTI.Earlier, terming Gandhi's claim "unfortunate and bizarre", BJP spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi said: "He is lying.""His claim that the president has accepted his allegations demonstrates the malicious cycle Rahul Gandhi has been orchestrating, turning every constitutional body into a victim of his politics. It now appears that he has crossed all limits," he told reporters.Trivedi said that only "someone", other than the INDIA bloc delegation, could reveal what actually transpired in the meeting."The way Rahul Gandhi spoke, the body language and facial expressions of the leaders standing beside him clearly suggested that what was being said likely bore no relation to the truth.
