The BJP has slammed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for "seeking US interference" in India's internal matters and showing the country in a "poor light".

BJP IT cell in-charge Amit Malviya said that at a time when Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, BJP president JP Nadda and other senior party leaders were campaigning across poll-bound states, Rahul Gandhi was busy doing video calls with professors in the US and "making puerile statements".

"After losing, he will crib about lack of democracy and blame the people," he said.

Rahul Gandhi on Friday said he "needed institutional structures and protections to fight elections, but did not have them".

In a virtual conversation with Harvard Kennedy professor and former US Under Secretary of State Nicholas Burns, Gandhi alleged the BJP had indulged in “wholesale capture of institutions", also quoting 

the Assam Karimganj issue where EVMs were transported in a BJP candidate’s car.
