Citing Rahul Gandhi's poll rigging claims, Congress leader Shashi Tharoor on Friday said these are "serious questions" which must be seriously addressed in the interest of all voters and urged the Election Commission to act urgently.

In a post on X, the Thiruvananthapuram MP said India's democracy is too precious to allow its credibility to be destroyed by incompetence, carelessness or worse, deliberate tampering.

Tagging a post by the Congress on Gandhi's press conference, in which the leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha alleged a "huge criminal fraud" in polls, Tharoor said these are "serious questions" which must be seriously addressed in the interest of all parties and all voters.
