Kharge, Rahul lashes out at PM Modi over 'vote chori'

With the launch of Rahul Gandhi's 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' in Bihar's Sasaram, the Congress on Sunday said it is not just another political march but a moral and constitutional crusade to safeguard democracy, protect the sanctity of 'one person-one vote' and ensure that the voices of the most marginalised are not "stolen by fraud". The Yatra started from poll-bound Bihar's Sasaram and saw the participation of Rahul Gandhi, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, RJD chief Lalu Prasad, Leader of Opposition in Bihar Assembly Tejashwi Yadav, Vikassheel Insaan Party's Mukesh Sahani, CPI(ML) Liberation general secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya, CPI(M)'s Subhashini Ali and CPI's P Sandosh Kumar. Addressing the gathering,Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday said the whole country now knows that the Election Commission is "stealing" elections in collusion with the BJP and asserted that the INDIA bloc will not let them succeed in their "conspiracy" to steal Bihar Assembly polls by voter additions and deletions through the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls.

BJP और चुनाव आयोग पूरे देश में लोकसभा और विधानसभा के चुनाव चोरी कर रहे हैं।

अब ये SIR से बिहार का चुनाव चोरी करना चाहते हैं।

BJP और चुनाव आयोग जान ले- हम बिहार का चुनाव चोरी नहीं करने देंगे।
