Rahul Gandhi Alleges Election Commission's Involvement in Vote Theft Conspiracy

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has accused the Election Commission of being a key player in what he calls a "conspiracy of vote theft." Gandhi expressed his concerns over the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in India, particularly in Gujarat, labeling it as a strategic move to manipulate the democratic process.

A Well-Plaed Vote Chori

Gandhi emphasized that the SIR process is being misused to disenfranchise voters and tilt the electoral balance in favor of the ruling BJP party. He stated, "Wherever there's SIR, there's vote theft. What is being done in Gujarat in the name of SIR is not any kind of administrative process, it is a well-plaed, organized, and strategic vote chori."

Thousands of Objections

Highlighting the irregularities, Gandhi pointed out that thousands of objections were filed under the same name, indicating a systematic effort to manipulate the electoral system. He alleged that voters from specific communities and booths supporting the Congress party were selectively targeted for removal from the voter rolls.

Congress' Claims

The Gujarat Congress unit echoed Gandhi's concerns, accusing the BJP of resorting to advanced tactics of election theft following the exposure of vote rigging. They claimed that the Election Commission's handling of objections during the SIR process raised serious questions about fairness and transparency in the electoral process.

Election Commission's Role

The party criticized the Election Commission for allegedly turning a blind eye to the irregularities and not responding to queries from the opposition party regarding objection submissions. They accused the Commission of compromising its neutrality and accountability by favoring the ruling party.

As the political landscape heats up with allegations of vote theft and manipulation, the demand for accountability and transparency in the electoral process grows stronger.
