Amit Shah Dismisses Rahul’s Vote-Theft Claims as Baseless
Union Home Minister Amit Shah rejected Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s charge that voter names were being deleted in Karnataka’s Aland constituency. Shah termed the allegations a “false narrative” and mocked Congress’s campaign by calling it the “Ghuspaithiya Bachao Yatra” or “Save the Infiltrators March.”
What Shah Criticized
Speaking at a BJP rally in Rohtas, Bihar, Shah accused the Congress party of ignoring real issues such as education, employment, electricity, and roads. He claimed Rahul Gandhi’s campaign was instead focused on protecting “illegal infiltrators” from Bangladesh.
The Claims by Congress
Rahul Gandhi, during his “Voter Adhikar Yatra,” alleged that voters’ names were being deleted through software and mobile apps, targeting booths where Congress had stronger support. He also accused the Election Commission of failing to cooperate with the Karnataka CID probe into the matter.
Political Context
The row over alleged “vote theft” has intensified political tensions in Bihar ahead of state elections. BJP leaders are amplifying Shah’s remarks to counter the Congress narrative, while Congress insists its concern is about voter rights and electoral integrity.
