### BJP Condemns Opposition Stance
**Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders strongly condemned the remarks made by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and other INDIA bloc figures, accusing them of attacking constitutional integrity.** The ruling party asserted that questioning the highest constitutional office and election authorities is a desperate attempt to malign democratic institutions following recent electoral setbacks.
