The delegation included for mer West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee, Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Tejashwi Yadav, CPI(M) general secretary M.A. Baby and Samajwadi Party leader Rajiv Rai, according to reports ahead of the meeting.
Speaking after the meeting, Gandhi alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union home minister Amit Shah and CEC Gyanesh Kumar had conspired to undermine Indian democracy.
“The President did not deny, question or argue against anything we said,” Gandhi said, adding that Murmu had asked the delegation to provide proof of ‘election chori’. “I actually expected the President to deny that vote chori is taking place and say that India has a free and fair election system. But I was shocked and stunned that the President of India accepted what we said.”
