Reiterating his allegations of ‘vote theft’, Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition (LoP) Rahul Gandhi on Sunday alleged that the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) drive is an attempt to cover up vote theft and institutionalise the same.
Rahul Gandhi told media persons at Pachmarhi in Madhya Pradesh that he was certain that vote theft took place in Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Maharashtra, and Chhattisgarh in the elections.
Gandhi said, “A few days ago, I gave a presentation on Haryana, and I clearly saw that vote theft was taking place. Twenty-five lakh votes were stolen, 1 in 8 votes were stolen”.
“After looking at that, after looking at the data, I believe that the same thing happened in MP, Maharashtra, and Chhattisgarh. And this is the system of the BJP and EC (Election Commission)”, he stated.
Rahul Gandhi alleged that he was certain that vote theft was taking place, and now the BJP is trying to institutionalise it through the SIR.
The Congress leader claimed that he had much more data and evidence to prove his point, and all that would be revealed gradually.
Rahul Gandhi also accused PM Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar of having formed a partnership to attack democracy.
The Wayanad MP. had reached the famous hill station Pachmarhi on Saturday afternoon. He addressed Congress leaders in the ongoing camp under the ‘Sangathan Srajan Abhiyaan’ (Organization Rejuvenation Campaign) at Hotel Highland.
