CM Stalin questions ECI’s ‘stoic silence’ on Rahul’s ‘Hydrogen Bomb’

“Going beyond carrying malpractices in elections, the BJP, now engaging in manipulating electoral rolls and indulging in vote chori, stands exposed before the people once again raising doubts about the saffron party’s electoral successes,” Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin said on Wednesday, citing Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s expose on Haryana assembly elections.

“While people’s mandate is being stolen, the Election Commission keeps a stoic silence. The crystal-clear proof presented by my brother and Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on vote theft in Haryana is shocking. People are no longer prepared to believe the divisive politics of BJP which came to power by fanning hate and fake promises in 2014. That has changed long back. Hence, going beyond electoral malpractices, the BJP now stands exposed for stealing people’s mandate by indulging in brazen vote theft by carrying out massive fraud in voter rolls,” the DMK president said in a post on ‘X’.

According to Stalin, the next stage of this vote chori is the SIR, a conspiracy to disenfranchise the electorate for which Bihar and today’s #Haryanafiles expose are proof. “It is agonising that the Election Commission, which is responsible for all this, has not come out with any proper explanation despite the mounting evidence and charges being presented,” he said and asked, “Whether the EC, functioning with the taxpayers money, will proffer a proper answer before the public fora and ensure the sprouting of confidence that democracy hasn’t been buried?”

Rahul Gandhi’s Haryana files expose has come at a time when the DMK is fighting both legally and politically against the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter lists in Tamil Nadu. Besides approaching the Supreme Court, challenging the SIR, the DMK has been picking holes in the exercise.
