‘Democracy Can't Function On Selective Trust’: BJP Slams Rahul Gandhi’s Kerala Victory Post
‘Democracy Can't Function On Selective Trust’: BJP Slams Rahul Gandhi’s Kerala Victory Post
BJP leader Amit Malviya has strongly criticised Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for questioning election results without offering proof. His remarks came amid the ongoing winter session of Parliament, which has seen sharp confrontations between the BJP and opposition parties, including the Congress.
In a post on social media platform X, Malviya said Rahul Gandhi follows a familiar pattern whenever election results do not go in his favour. He alleged that Gandhi often blames electronic voting machines, raises claims of “vote chori", and questions the system after defeats, while accepting the same electoral process when the Congress records victories elsewhere.
Malviya said democracy cannot function on selective trust. He argued that leaders cannot celebrate wins under an electoral system and discredit the same system after losses. Such an approach, he said, weakens public confidence in democratic institutions instead of strengthening them.
Malviya's remarks came as a reaction to Rahul Gandhi's post on X, where the Congress leader welcomed the party-led United Democratic Front's performance in Kerala local body elections. In his post, Gandhi congratulated the people of Kerala for placing their trust in the UDF and described the mandate as decisive and heartening.
He said the results showed growing confidence in the UDF and pointed towards a possible sweep in the upcoming Assembly election. Gandhi added that Kerala wanted accountable governance that listens, responds and delivers. He said the Congress's focus would remain on addressing everyday concerns and ensuring transparent, people-first administration. He also congratulated elected representatives and praised party workers for their efforts.
Responding to this, Malviya said democracy demands consistency. He argued that questioning election outcomes without evidence, after repeatedly contesting and participating in the same process, raises serious concerns about political integrity and democratic ethics.
Every time an election result doesn't go his way, Rahul Gandhi seems to reach for a familiar script—blame the EVMs, allege “vote chori," question the system. Yet the same electoral process is accepted without hesitation when victories come elsewhere.Democracy cannot function on… https://t.co/3v31MfyS0y— Amit Malviya (@amitmalviya) December 14, 2025

Malviya said the issue was not limited to one leader or one party. He called for deeper reflection within the opposition on credibility, responsibility and honest political introspection. According to him, democracy requires respect for institutions even in defeat.
The exchange comes as Parliament has witnessed repeated disruptions over issues such as the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls and allegations of vote manipulation. The BJP has rejected these claims, accusing the opposition of undermining faith in the democratic process.
