Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, while talking to the media outside Parliament on Tuesday, reiterated the Election Commission in collusion with the BJP and reiterated the allegations of disturbing voter lists. He said that this conspiracy took place in Karnataka and Maharashtra last year and is now preparing to repeat in Bihar through ‘Special Intensive Revision’.

He said, “This is not just a matter of one or two seats… it has happened in many seats. It is being done at the national level and with the plan. Along with this, Rahul Gandhi smiled and said, “The picture is still left.”

Demonstration and custody outside Parliament
The statement came out of Parliament 24 hours after the dramatic developments on Monday, when the MPs of the Congress and India Block demonstrated strongly demanding the release of a machine-readable voter list. Currently, the Election Commission releases the scanned pictures of the voter list, which makes it almost impossible to check the mistakes. During the protest, Delhi Police detained 29 opposition MPs including Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Akhilesh Yadav, Sanjay Raut.

Old allegations and warnings
Last week, Rahul Gandhi warned the Election Commission, “Think twice before attacking the Constitution. We will catch you one by one… and if you do not give us data (voter list and the last 10 years pole booth video), you will not be able to hide.”

He claimed that 1.02 lakh illegal votes were cast in Karnataka during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, in which only 80 voters were found registered at a room address in Mahadevpura area of Bangalore. He says that the Congress lost the Bangalore Central seat with this disturbance, where BJP’s PC Mohan defeated Mansoor Khan of Congress by 33,000 votes.

Allegations of disturbances in Maharashtra also
Rahul Gandhi and the opposition have made similar allegations about the 2024 Maharashtra assembly elections. He claims that more than one crore new names were added to the voter list, which is suspicious in the voter list, just four months after the BJP -led Mahayuti alliance defeat in the Lok Sabha elections. The opposition has also described the ‘Special Intensive Revision’ of the voter list in Bihar as suspicious before the election. This case has been challenged in the Supreme Court.

Election Commission and BJP reply
The Election Commission has dismissed all these allegations, saying that its procedures are transparent and have been created to ensure independent and fair elections. The Commission challenged Rahul Gandhi to register his claims in the affidavit and present evidence. On Friday, the Commission also raised a case of 2018 when it alleged that the Congress tried to mislead the Supreme Court in the petition of former Chief Minister Kamal Nath.

BJP leader Amit Malviya said, “If Rahul Gandhi wants to save his credibility, he will have to mention the names of ineligible voters under the affidavit, whom they are claiming… If they do not do so, it will be clear that there is no case in their case and they are just doing political drama.”

The Election Commission has reacted strongly to the allegations of disturbances in the voter list made by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for Karnataka Lok Sabha elections 2024. The Commission has said that if no election petition (petition challenging elections) has been filed, then what is the rationale for making such baseless allegations now?

Questioning Rahul Gandhi’s allegations, the Election Commission said that no Congress candidate lost in Karnataka Lok Sabha elections 2024 has filed any election petition under Section 80 of the Representation of People Act 1951. According to the Election Commission, not a single appeal was filed on the voter list of Karnataka by the Congress or any representative under Section 24 of the Representation of the People Act 1950.

Rule of Election Petition filed within 45 days

The Commission said that according to the rules, an election petition has to be filed against any election result within 45 days. If this happens, the Election Commission protects the related material, otherwise there is a provision to remove it. The Election Commission described Rahul Gandhi’s statement as ‘unfair and threatened’ and said that it is very unfortunate to target ECI as a constitutional institution.

Along with this, the Election Commission has also asked Rahul Gandhi that if no legal petition is filed, then on this level, questioning the election process at this level and targeting the Chief Election Commissioner is being done for the purpose?

Rahul Gandhi raised questions on Election Commission

Earlier, Rahul Gandhi has claimed the Election Commission of rigging and incorrectly adding and cutting the names of voters, claiming that he has a figure of an assembly seat in Karnataka, which proves how the Election Commission disturbs the voter list.
