Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi lashed out at the Election Commission on Monday (August 18, 2025). Targeting the Election Commission, Rahul made allegations of vote theft and rigging in the voter list. During this, he also warned the three commissioners including Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.

Rahul Gandhi said, ‘Listen to the three election commissioners, whenever the government changes at the center and in Bihar, there will be a strong action on the Chief Election Commission.’ In Gayaji, Rahul said, ‘One thing you know that I do not lie from the stage. Vote theft is an attack on the constitution. The constitution is a 3000 year old soul, so attack on the Constitution is an attack on Mother India, which we will not let.

One crore voters were born between Lok Sabha and Assembly elections in Maharashtra: Rahul

Rahul Gandhi asked people if you will be stolen in Bihar? When the Maharashtra assembly elections were held, we came to know that the disturbances were going on. Between the Lok Sabha elections and the Maharashtra Assembly elections, the Election Commission created one crore voter theft. Our votes were not reduced, the more they met, but wherever BJP won, new voters were connected there.

I gave information about fake voters, so I started asking for affidavits: Rahul

He said, ‘I started research on a seat in Karnataka, then more than one lakh fake voters should be selected in an assembly constituency. Fake voters are being erected in five ways. When I informed the Election Commission, the Election Commission did not listen to the Leader of Opposition, on the contrary, you tell me the affidavit.

Rahul Gandhi said, ‘I tell the Election Commission, the whole country will work to ask for affidavits from them. His theft is to be caught in every assembly constituency. Just as Modi ji talks about a special package for Bihar, similarly it has brought a new package for Bihar as SIR.

The Chief Election Commissioner of the country, Gyanesh Kumar, on Sunday (August 17, 2025) denied the allegations of ‘vote theft’ from the opposition over the controversy of special intensive revision of the voter list in Bihar. While holding a press conference for the first time about the voter list process, the Election Commission said that there is no party nor opposition, all political parties are the same.

Chief Election Commissioner gave special information in press conference

During the press conference, Gyanesh Kumar gave special information about some important issues.

1. The Commission said, ‘It cannot be denied that every political party is born through registration in the Election Commission. Then how can the Election Commission discriminate between those parties? All political parties are the same for the Commission.

2. For the last two decades, there was a discussion about the change in the election process, in view of this, the Commission approved special intensive revision in Bihar.

3. In the SIR process, all voters have jointly formulated this proposal jointly with the 1.6 lakh booth level agents (BLA) nominated by various parties.

4. Gyanesh Kumar said, ‘All voters, political parties and BLOs are working honestly at the ground level. They are not only authenticating, but are also giving signature and giving videos. The commission chief said that even after such transparency, it is a matter of serious concern that the matter of certified documents and BLA nominated by the party is not reaching their own state or national level and intentionally the reality is being ignored.

5. The Commission said that when more than 7 crore voters of the country are standing with the Election Commission, neither the Election Commission nor the credibility of voters can be questioned.

6. The Chief Election Commissioner further said, ‘We saw a few days ago that pictures of many voters were presented to the media without their permission. He was accused, used. Should the Election Commission share CCTV footage of voters, their mothers, daughters -in -law or daughters? Those who are named in the voter list, they vote for choosing their candidate.

7. He said, ‘In the process of Lok Sabha elections, more than one crore employees, more than 10 lakh booth level agents, polling agents of more than 20 lakh candidates work for the election. In such a transparent process before so many people, can a voter steal the vote?

8. Gyanesh Kumar said, ‘Some voters were accused of double voting, no response was received on seeking evidence. Neither the Election Commission is afraid of such wrong allegations nor any voter is afraid. When politics is being done by targeting the voters of India by placing a gun on the shoulder of the Election Commission.

He said that in such a situation, the Election Commission today wants to clarify everyone that we fearlessly stood, standing and standing with the voters of all classes and all religions including all poor, rich, elderly, women and youth.

9. The Commission said, ‘There is a ban on the voter list read by the machine. This decision of the Election Commission is after the decision of the Supreme Court and since 2019,

10. Chief Election Commissioner Dnyanesh Kumar, while raising the question, said, ‘Do you know that there is a zero number in front of the address of crores of people in this country, why? Actually, the panchayat or municipality has not given any number to their house.

Insult to the Indian Constitution
