Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday cited an analysis of data from a Lok Sabha constituency in Karnataka from the 2024 general elections to allege that the Election Commission (EC) is colluding with the BJP to “steal elections” and called it a “crime” against the Constitution.

Addressing a press conference at the AICC headquarters here, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha said the Congress put together a team and collected “concrete evidence of vote chori” in six months.


If the EC does not give us machine-readable data for the past 10-15 years and the CCTV footage, they are partaking in the crime, Gandhi said.



“The judiciary needs to get involved in this because the democracy that we love so much does not exist,” he said.

Talking to the media through an online presentation, Gandhi said they analysed the voter data of Lok Sabha constituency of Bangalore Central and the Mahadevapura Assembly segment in it from the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. 

He claimed there was “vote chori” of 1,00,250 votes in the constituency. Gandhi said the Congress would like to remind the EC that it is in the business of protecting elections.

He also alleged that EC is looking to “destroy” evidence of “vote chori” in the whole country.
