Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Sunday dismissed the Opposition’s allegations of vote theft as baseless and accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of attempting to undermine public trust in constitutional institutions, including the Election Commission.

Speaking to reporters in Nagpur, Fadnavis also rejected reports of differences within the poll panel, saying all three election commissioners had stated in a joint press statement that decisions related to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) were taken unanimously.
