She also said the Congress often criticizes election officials and electronic voting machines after losing elections.
Yamini argued that the Election Commission’s decisions were unanimous.
She denied that young Gen-Z voters were being left off the voter lists.
She pointed to the addition of 2.87 crore such voters as evidence for her position.

Gandhi linked the allegations to the Election Commission’s ongoing special intensive revision of electoral rolls.
Yamini alleged that Gandhi was seeking political mileage after being unable to accept an election defeat.
