Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday slammed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for claiming to have an “atom bomb of evidence of vote theft” against the Election Commission, and dared him to detonate the explosive.

Addressing a function by a media house in Patna, Singh also likened the upcoming assembly polls to a crossroad, “with one path (under NDA) leading to further progress and another (under the INDIA bloc) taking Bihar back to its old era of lawlessness and caste strife”.

“Rahul Gandhi says he is in possession of an atom bomb. If it is so, he should detonate it at once. He should just ensure that he is himself out of harm’s way”, said the former BJP president.

Gandhi had on Friday claimed that his party has an “atom bomb” of evidence to prove “vote chori” by the Election Commission for the BJP.

The Union minister said the EC is an institution that enjoys a reputation for unquestionable integrity. Singh also said, “It does not behove the Leader of the Opposition to make frivolous statements about a constitutional body.”
