The BJP on Wednesday alleged irregularities in voter registration across Rae Bareli, Wayanad, Diamond Harbour, and Kannauj parliamentary constituencies. The party demanded that Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Abhishek Banerjee, and Akhilesh Yadav resign as Lok Sabha MPs, claiming they won elections through "vote chori," reported PTI.
At a presentation on electoral rolls at the BJP headquarters, former Union Minister Anurag Thakur highlighted alleged discrepancies in the Kolathur assembly seat in Tamil Nadu and Manipuri Lok Sabha seat in Uttar Pradesh. He also called on the Chief Minister and DMK chief M.K. Stalin and SP leader Dimple Yadav resigned over alleged election rigging, reported PTI.
Thakur criticized Congress, TMC, Samajwadi Party, and DMK leaders for questioning the Election Commission and accused them of spreading false narratives against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar, which is set to expand to other states. He claimed the opposition was trying to protect their "vote bank of illegal Bangladeshi infiltration" and other "intruders."
"Seeing this 'shor' (hue and cry) being made by the opposition, it now seems that 'chor machaye shor'," he said, suggesting those in the wrong are now protesting loudly.
"Rae Bareli, Wayanad, Kannuaj, to Diamond Harbour everywhere one question is coming up ,why did they make fake voters. Will they resign for indulging in 'vote chori' and protecting intruders?" Thakur asked, reported PTI.
In his own allegations of "vote chori", Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi presented data from the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, claiming that over 1 lakh votes were "stolen" in the Mahadevapura assembly segment in Karnataka. He cited five types of manipulation, including duplicate voters, fake and invalid addresses, and single-address voters.
As reported by PTI, on Tuesday, opposition leaders organized a protest march from Parliament House to the Election Commission’s headquarters but were stopped and briefly detained by police.
The Congress intensified its campaign against alleged 'vote chori' on Wednesday by releasing a video showing how "fake votes" were allegedly cast. Party chief Mallikarjun Kharge urged citizens to raise their voices to protect constitutional institutions from the "clutches of the BJP."
Gandhi also shared the minute-long video, saying, "Aapke vote ki chori aapke adhikar ki chori, aapki pehchaan ki chori hai."
