EC colluding with BJP to steal elections, alleges Rahul Gandhi

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday cited an analysis of data from a Lok Sabha constituency in Karnataka from the 2024 general elections to allege that the Election Commission is colluding with the BJP to "steal elections" and called it a "crime" against the Constitution. Addressing a press conference at the AICC headquarters in New Delhi, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha said the Congress put together a team and collected "concrete evidence of vote chori" in six months. If the EC does not give us machine-readable data for the past 10-15 years and the CCTV footage, they are partaking in the crime, Gandhi said.He said the Election Commission's "choreographed schedule" for Assembly polls deepened the suspicion.

• हरियाणा, महाराष्ट्र और मध्य प्रदेश इसके उदाहरण हैं
• माहौल बनाया जाता कि BJP स्कीम/काम पर चुनाव जीत गई

"An internal research by Congress found over one lakh duplicate voters, invalid addresses, bulk voters in Mahadevapura constituency in Karnataka," he said."BJP does not suffer from anti-incumbency. Opinion polls suggested something, but the results were the opposite. Examples are Haryana, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. An ambience was created to explain the factors that led to the win: Ladli Behna, Pulwama, (Operation) Sindoor, narrative creation," Gandhi said.
