This yatra aims to raise awareness about alleged voter list manipulation and encourage citizens to protect their voting rights.
Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has also questioned the ECI’s impartiality, citing a probe into voter fraud in Karnataka’s Aland Constituency. Kharge alleges that the ECI is withholding crucial details in the investigation, which suggests a massive attempt at voter fraud.
The controversy dates back to the 2023 Karnataka Assembly elections, where the Congress exposed a significant deletion of voters in the Aland constituency. A probe revealed 5,994 forged applications, leading to a CID investigation. Kharge’s allegations imply that the ECI’s actions may be protecting those responsible for voter fraud.
