Congress MP Rahul Gandhi and Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal have questioned the outcome of the West Bengal assembly elections, in which the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secured a sweeping victory.
The BJP won 207 of the 294 seats, while the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) was reduced to 80.
Rahul Gandhi wrote on X that the BJP's victory was a 'big step forward in its mission to destroy Indian democracy.'
Kejriwal also questioned the outcome, noting that it came at a time when Prime Minister Narendra Modi's popularity was declining.
West Bengal BJP chief spokesperson Debjit Sarkar dismissed the criticism, saying 'grapes are sour' and that the critics should raise their questions in the Supreme Court.
