CJP convener Abhijeet Dipke issued a sharp critique regarding the Opposition’s strategy amid rising political debates surrounding national electoral integrity. Addressing recent political developments, the Abhijeet Dipke Fixed Match Analogy ECI statement urged Opposition political groups to stop contesting elections if they genuinely believe the voting framework is manipulated. Dipke emphasized that continued electoral participation grants artificial legitimacy to an allegedly flawed institutional mechanism.

Dipke argued that in a rigged contest, the controlling entity allows select opportunities to go unmanipulated so the game appears genuine until the end. He claimed that handing Opposition parties sporadic victories acts as crumbs to keep them engaged, preserving the public illusion of a fair competitive election while the overall framework remains compromised.
