YSRCP chief and former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy on Wednesday alleged that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is in "touch" with him through Telangana CM Revanth Reddy “on a hotline.”

He claimed Rahul Gandhi avoids speaking about voting discrepancies in Andhra Pradesh because Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu is himself in contact with the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha.


Revanth Reddy stated, “Why doesn’t Rahul Gandhi talk about Arvind Kejriwal?… Kejriwal himself lost the MLA election. Rahul Gandhi doesn’t talk about Andhra because Chandrababu is in touch with Telangana CM Revanth Reddy through a hotline. So, what should I say about Rahul Gandhi, who himself is not sincere?” as cited by news agency ANI.



The Telangana Chief Minister also said, “I questioned Rahul Gandhi while talking about ‘vote-chori’ in Delhi, although he did not mention the alleged 12.5 per cent vote difference between what was announced and what was counted in Andhra Pradesh.” CM Reddy further added, “Mr Rahul Gandhi, when in Delhi, talks about Vote Chori. Why doesn’t he speak about the 12.50 per cent vote difference between what was announced and what was counted in Andhra Pradesh? The difference was 2.5 per cent," as per news agency ANI.

Earlier in the day, Congress MP and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi continued his attack on the Centre, saying the theft of one’s vote is also the theft of one’s rights and identity.

The Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha shared a fictional video on the social media platform X showing two people, purportedly from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), colluding with Election Commission officials to cast votes in someone else’s name.

As per news agency ANI, in the video, the two are seen leaving a polling booth after casting fake votes, with one of them saying, “This is such a good arrangement; victory is assured now.” When the real voter, 50-year-old ‘Garib Das’, arrives with his voter ID, he is told his vote has already been cast. His wife is told the same.

The video ends with the two men seen colluding with the Booth Level Officer (BLO) and takes a swipe at the Election Commission, calling it the “Election Chori Aayog.”
