Rahul Gandhi Accuses ECI Of ‘Vote Chori’
Congress leader and Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi has accused the Election Commission of India of no longer acting as a neutral guardian of democracy. He alleged that the poll body has become a key participant in what he termed a “vote chori” or vote theft conspiracy.
Claims Linked To Voter Roll Revision
Gandhi linked his accusations to the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls, claiming the process is being used to selectively remove voters. He alleged that the exercise was targeted and systematic, raising concerns over voter disenfranchisement and the fairness of upcoming elections.
Political Row Over Electoral Integrity
The remarks have intensified the political debate over the role and independence of the Election Commission. The poll body has maintained that voter roll revisions are routine administrative exercises carried out under established legal procedures. No official response was issued immediately to Gandhi’s latest comments, as political parties continue to trade accusations over electoral processes.
