andhra_jp Posted August 23 Author Report Posted August 23 https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj9w43p7741o Why India's Election Commission is facing a test of credibility India's opposition parties said they were considering an impeachment motion to remove Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar India's Election Commission (ECI), one of the most trusted public institutions in the world's largest democracy, is facing a test of its credibility. Over the past few weeks, it has fielded a string of allegations from the opposition, ranging from voter fraud and manipulation to inconsistencies in electoral rolls. It has denied all of these. Opposition leaders, who have held massive protests against the ECI in recent days, said they were considering an impeachment motion to remove the chief election commissioner from his position. They hadn't filed the motion by Thursday, the last day of the monsoon session of parliament, and currently don't have the numbers to see it through. Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi, the leader of India's main opposition party Congress, has launched a 16-day, 1,300km (807 miles) march - known as the Voter Adhikar Yatra (Voter Rights March) - in Bihar state to protest against the ECI, marking a dramatic escalation in the political fight. Bihar, set to vote in a key state election later this year, has been in the middle of a heated controversy over a recent revision of electoral rolls. Gandhi first made the allegations of vote theft in August, accusing the ECI of colluding with the governing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to rig the 2024 general elections. Using granular data from the ECI's own records, he alleged that a parliamentary constituency in the southern state of Karnataka had more than 100,000 fake voters, including duplicate voters, invalid addresses and bulk registrations at single locations. The ECI has repeatedly called the claims "false and misleading". And the BJP has strongly denied these allegations, with leader Anurag Thakur saying the Congress and the opposition had come together to make these "baseless claims" because they were anticipating a loss in Bihar. Gandhi's press conference was held as the controversy in Bihar was raging. The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) happened between June and July, with the ECI saying its representatives visited all of Bihar's 78.9 million voters for verification. The ECI says this was done to update the voter lists after more than 20 years, but opposition leaders say the process may have disenfranchised tens of thousands of people, especially migrants, because of the haste with which it was conducted and the onerous documentation required as proof. After a draft of the updated list was published on 1 August, several reports, including by the BBC, highlighted errors in the count, such as the wrong gender and photos assigned against people's names, and dead voters on the rolls. The new draft rolls have 72.4 million names - 6.5 million fewer than before, with the commission saying the omissions include duplicate, deceased and migrant voters. Those who believe their names were wrongly struck off have been given until 1 September to appeal. Meanwhile, criticism also intensified over the manner in which the ECI published the names of the 6.5 million people that were excluded from the draft rolls. Opposition parties questioned why the commission was putting up scanned physical copies, rather than machine-readable lists of omitted voters, which could be independently verified by analysts and political parties. Eventually, India's top court told the ECI to publish a searchable list of voters and also state the reasons for their exclusion. The court's intervention highlighted the ECI's "procedural failures" and must be seen as a "rap on the knuckles", an editorial in the leading Hindu newspaper said. Amid the mounting criticism, ECI held a rare weekend press conference on17 August to address some of the allegations. "If you use terms like vote theft and mislead citizens, then what else would you call this, other than an insult to India's constitution?" Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar said, referring to Gandhi's allegations. He cited a 2019 Supreme Court judgment to say the opposition's demand for machine-readable voter lists could impinge on people's privacy. He also demanded that Gandhi either give an affidavit under oath proving his allegations, or apologise to the nation for his remarks. But instead of putting the matter to rest, the statements sparked further outrage, with some opposition politicians accusing Kumar of either avoiding answering specific questions or providing unsatisfactory explanations. Pawan Khera of the Congress party told BBC Hindi that Kumar's "adversarial tone" at the press conference made it seem "as if a BJP leader was speaking". Experts say that on their own, the allegations by Gandhi, or the fact that millions of new voters have been added or removed from the rolls in Bihar, don't prove any wrongdoing. "When the voter list is intensively verified, such large differences in numbers are bound to occur," former chief election commissioner N Gopalaswami told BBC Tamil. Mr Gopalaswami added that when the electoral roll for the southern state of Karnataka was revised in 2008, some 5.2 million voters were removed, with nearly one million people applying to be added again. He also agreed with the ECI's demand for a signed affidavit by Gandhi, saying that responding to allegations without a written complaint sets a bad precedent for the institution. But with Gandhi's voter rights march under way and the Bihar elections looming, the issue is unlikely to die down. "Whatever the Election Commission says, the opposition will definitely make it an issue in the upcoming Bihar elections," senior journalist Smita Gupta told BBC Hindi. In the meantime, there are larger concerns at play about the impact of all of this on the public's trust in the ECI. "The trust the ECI once commanded almost unquestioningly is now under greater public scrutiny," former chief election commissioner SY Quraishi wrote in the Indian Express newspaper. He added that while the "procedural architecture for transparency in elections remains in place... the perception of impartiality is as important as its reality. Reinforcing this trust is as crucial as ensuring technical accuracy". According to a survey published this month by Lokniti, a research programme at the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies (CSDS), however, trust in the ECI has dropped sharply. The agency's chief Sanjay Kumar has been separately in the crosshairs of the ECI and the BJP after he issued an apology for sharing wrong data on voter turnout in the state of Maharashtra, but its findings in other states point to a rising trust deficit with the ECI. In all the six states surveyed by CSDS in 2025, the number of people who had no trust in the EC had risen sharply from 2019 - In Uttar Pradesh, India's most populous state, it rose from 11% to 31% in the period. This systematic erosion, Mr Kumar told The Wire news portal, "should be a big worry" for the commission. "It is not only the trust of the opposition which has gone down, it is also the trust among the people that has come down. The data clearly indicates that," Mr Kumar said. Quote

andhra_jp Posted August 24 Author Report Posted August 24 Sanjay Raut accuses BJP of ‘vote theft’ in Maharashtra, says issue now at national and global stage Rahul Gandhi intensifies attack on Election Commission during Bihar yatra, alleges EC-BJP partnership. Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut on Sunday escalated his attack on the BJP-led Maharashtra government, alleging that it came to power through 'vote theft.' Speaking to reporters in Mumbai, Raut said the matter was no longer limited to state politics. “The issue of vote theft has been in Maharashtra for eight months. Uddhav Thackeray, Raj Thackeray, Sharad Pawar and Congress raised this question: Where did our votes go? Devendra Fadnavis’ government came to power only through such theft. Now Rahul Gandhi has taken this issue to the national level, and it is being raised internationally too,” Raut said. Rahul Gandhi: ‘Vote theft institutionalised in Bihar’ Earlier in the day, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi sharpened his attack on the Election Commission of India (ECI) during his ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’ in Bihar’s Araria district. “In Bihar, the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) is an institutionalised way of vote theft. Lakhs of names were deleted from the rolls. The Opposition has complained repeatedly, but the BJP hasn’t complained even once, because there is a partnership between the Election Commission, the Election Commissioner and the BJP,” Rahul alleged. Opposition vows resistance in Bihar Rahul Gandhi said the Opposition will not allow the BJP and ECI to “steal elections in Bihar.” He claimed the strong turnout for his yatra proved that “crores of people in Bihar believe in our claim of vote theft.” “Election Commission’s job is to provide the correct voter list, but they failed to do so in Maharashtra, Haryana and Karnataka. Elections were stolen in Maharashtra and Haryana, and in Karnataka, we showed there was theft. Our pressure is to change the Election Commission’s behaviour. We will not allow this to continue in Bihar,” Gandhi said. Quote
andhra_jp Posted September 1 Author Report Posted September 1 ‘Hydrogen bomb’ of revelations on ‘vote chori’ coming, Modi will not be able to show his face, says Rahul Gandhi Speaking at the concluding event of his ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’ in Patna, Mr. Gandhi said Bihar is a revolutionary State and it had given a message to the country Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday (September 1, 2025) said his party will soon come out with a "hydrogen bomb" of revelations about "vote chori" and after that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will not be able to show his face to the country. Speaking at the concluding event of his ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’ in Patna, Mr. Gandhi said Bihar is a revolutionary State and it had given a message to the country. "We will not let them (BJP) murder the Constitution and that is why we took out a yatra. We got a tremendous response. People came out in large numbers and raised the slogan 'vote chor gaddi chhor'," the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha said. "I want to tell the BJP people. Have you heard of anything bigger than an atom bomb, it is a hydrogen bomb. BJP people, be ready, a hydrogen bomb is coming. People are soon going to find out the reality of vote chori," Mr. Gandhi said. "In the coming time, I am guaranteeing you that after the hydrogen bomb (comes), Narendra Modi ji will not be able to show his face to the country," the former Congress chief said. He said votes were "stolen" in Maharashtra Assembly elections and then with evidence, his party showed how "vote chori" was done in Mahadevapura Assembly segment in Karnataka's Bangalore central Lok Sabha Seat. "I want to tell the youth of Bihar, vote chori means 'chori of rights, chori of democracy, chori of employment'.They will take away your ration card and other rights," he alleged. His remarks came after the INDIA bloc allies held a march marking the culmination of the 'Vote Adhikar Yatra' led by Gandhi and other Mahagathbandhan leaders that covered 1,300-km and passed through 110 assembly constituencies covering 25 of the 38 districts ahead of the upcoming State elections. The 'Gandhi se Ambedkar' march marking the culmination of the 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' was stopped midway by the police at the Dak Bungalow crossing where they addressed a gathering. Mr. Gandhi was joined by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, Vikassheel Insan Party chief Mukesh Sahani, CPI (ML) Liberation general secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya, CPI(M) general secretary M A Baby, CPI's Annie Raja, TMC MP Yusuf Pathan, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut, and other INDIA bloc leaders. The march in Patna started with the INDIA bloc leaders offering floral tributes at the statue of Mahatma Gandhi at the Gandhi Maidaan. The 'Voter Adhikar Yatra', launched by Rahul Gandhi from Sasaram on August 17, was aimed at highlighting the alleged assault on people's right to vote through the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar.

andhra_jp Posted September 18 Author Report Posted September 18 CEC Gyanesh Kumar protecting ‘vote chors’, destroyers of democracy: Rahul Gandhi Rahul Gandhi claimed that 6,018 votes were sought to be deleted in the Aland constituency of Karnataka, while 6,850 votes were sought to be added in Rajura constituency in Maharashtra, using centralised software and phones outside of Karnataka. Mounting a scathing attack on Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar, Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi on Thursday (September 18, 2025) alleged the CEC is protecting those who are “destroying” Indian democracy. Mr. Gandhi claimed that 6,018 votes were sought to be deleted in the Aland constituency of Karnataka, using centralised software and phones outside of Karnataka. In the same pattern, 6,850 applications were aubmitted online for addition of names in Rajura constituency of Maharashtra. “Same Vote Chori factory,” he claimed. The Criminal Investigation Department of Karnataka has sent 18 letters in 18 months, but the CEC has not provided details of the deletion forms, said Mr. Gandhi. The Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha said his revelations today were another milestone in demonstrating to the youth of this country how elections are being rigged. Mr Gandhi also made it clear at the outset that these were not the “hydrogen bomb” of revelations that he has promised and those will come soon. Mr. Gandhi also called on stage a voter whose vote was attempted to be deleted, and the person whose name was used to get the deletion done. Both denied any knowledge of the same. He said these deletions were being done using a software. “ECI knows who is doing this. I want every youngster in India to know this. They are doing this to your future. When they are not giving this information, they are defending the murderers of democracy,” Mr. Gandhi said. Congress won the Aland Assembly Constituency in Karnataka by Subhadh Guttedar (BJP) in 2018 and B.R. Patil (INC) in 2023. In Rajura, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Deorao Vithoba Bhongle won the seat in 2024 elections. Earlier, Mr. Gandhi, citing data from the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, claimed that over one lakh votes were “stolen” through manipulation in the Mahadevapura Assembly segment in Karnataka, and asserted that “vote chori” is an “atom bomb on our democracy”. 1 Quote
andhra_jp Posted September 18 Author Report Posted September 18 Rahul Gandhi's big 'vote chori' charges against EC: 'Software deleted votes, 10 Cong booths targeted' Accusing the CEC of shielding those responsible, Gandhi said, “By not providing information, they are defending murderers of the democracy.” Congress leader and Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, on Thursday, intensified his attack on the Election Commission, alleging that it was “protecting” those “destroying Indian democracy” by enabling systematic voter deletions in Congress strongholds. “First of all, this is not the H-bomb; the H-bomb is coming. This is another milestone in setting up and demonstrating to the youth of this country how elections are being rigged,” Gandhi told reporters at a press conference in Delhi. Accusing the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) of shielding those responsible, he said, “By not providing information, they are defending murderers of democracy.” Gandhi, backed by solid evidence, accused the EC of supporting voter deletions and additions in Karnataka and Maharashtra. He presented examples and instances of how the exercise has been executed. The Aland Files Citing the Aland constituency in Karnataka as a case study, Gandhi alleged that 6,018 fake voter deletion applications were filed during the 2023 polls. “Somebody tried to delete 6,018 votes, though the actual figure may be higher. This fraud was caught by coincidence when a booth-level officer discovered her uncle’s name missing. When she traced it, she found it was shown as deleted by a neighbour—yet the neighbour had no knowledge of it. Neither the person deleting nor the person whose vote was deleted knew. Some other force hijacked the process,” he claimed. Aland is a constituency in Karnataka; 6,018 votes. Somebody tried to delete 6,018 votes. We don't know the total number of votes that were deleted in Aland in the 2023 election. They're likely much higher than 6,018. But somebody got caught deleting 6,018 votes, and it was… pic.twitter.com/jQeMv6KXv2 — Congress (@INCIndia) September 18, 2025 According to Gandhi, the deletions were carried out using software that impersonated voters and filed applications remotely. “The people who supposedly filed these applications never actually did so. Mobile numbers from outside Karnataka, from other states, were used to delete votes in Aland, specifically targeting Congress voters,” he said. He further alleged that the operation was not random but concentrated in booths where Congress was dominant. “The top 10 booths with maximum deletions were Congress strongholds. Congress had won eight out of these 10 in 2018. This was no coincidence; it was a planned operation,” he claimed. “In Aland, 6,018 applications were filed impersonating voters. The people who filed these applications actually never filed them. The filing was done automatically using software," Gandhi stated, further explaining, "Mobile numbers from outside Karnataka, from different states, were used to delete numbers in Aland, and it was done targeting Congress voters". A 'centralised system' Explaining the alleged voter manipulation, Gandhi said it was carried out at scale through an automated system rather than by individual party workers. “Look at the serial numbers. Serial number 1 means the first name in the booth. A software was programmed to pick up that first name and use it for deletions. Automated programs ensured the first voter became the ‘applicant’. Cellphone numbers from outside Karnataka were then used to file applications. This wasn’t done by workers; it was done at a call-centre level,” he alleged. How this is being done and why we are saying that this is being done in a centralised manner. This is being done not by individuals but through the use of software. Look at the serial numbers: serial number 1 means that this is the first name in the booth. So a software is… pic.twitter.com/xih5rSORQp — Congress (@INCIndia) September 18, 2025 He argued that the pattern of deletions showed the operation was centrally coordinated, not random. “This is not the work of individuals on the ground, it is being executed through software,” Gandhi said. “If you study the serial numbers, you see the design. The program was coded to pick up the first name in the booth and generate a deletion request.” According to him, the system ensured the first voter in every booth appeared as the applicant for deletion, with out-of-state mobile numbers validating the process. “We are convinced this was done in a centralised manner and at scale. It wasn’t the handiwork of local workers, it was organised at a call-centre level,” he alleged. Godabai Case Further, he alleged that a fake login was created under the name of ‘Godabai’, which was then used to attempt the deletion of 12 votes. Example number ONE: A lady called Godabai. Someone created fake logins, deleted 12 voters, and attempted to delete—because this attempt was stopped. Godabai, of course, has no idea. These were the cell phone numbers that were used to delete these people from voter list. These… pic.twitter.com/UzYkIv2opS — Congress (@INCIndia) September 18, 2025 “This deletion of votes was done in a centralised manner using software and not through individuals,” Gandhi said, alleging that the manipulation was “planned action” in booths where the Congress had an advantage. Suryakant Case He explained the modus operandi with an example from the constituency, where a booth-level officer discovered her uncle’s name missing from the list. On tracing it, she found her neighbour’s ID linked to the deletion, though the neighbour denied any involvement. “Neither the deleter nor the deleted knew. That tells you how the system was compromised,” Gandhi said. Example 02: Suryakant This gentleman apparently deleted 12 voters in 14 minutes. He filled 12 deletion forms in 14 minutes. Babita Chaudhary is one of the votes that Suryakant is supposed to have deleted. : LoP Shri @RahulGandhi, in the presence of Mr. Suryakant and Ms.… pic.twitter.com/6RcIh2muY1 — Congress (@INCIndia) September 18, 2025 Gandhi went on to cite individual cases as evidence of the alleged fraud. He claimed that the identity of one ‘Suryakant’ was used to file 12 fake voter deletion forms within 14 minutes. He also alleged that the deletion form of one ‘Babita Chaudhary’ had been falsely attributed to Suryakant. Nagaraj case Gandhi further pointed out another case study - Nagaraj. He claimed that two applications were filed within 36 seconds at 4:07 am in the name of Nagaraj, only further adding to state, “I ask the youth of India, try filling out two forms in 36 seconds. You’ll see how impossible it is without automation,” Gandhi said. Example 03: Nagaraj Two applications were filed and submitted in 36 seconds. Please try filling these forms and see how long it takes you. I ask the youth of India, try it. Try filling two forms in 36 seconds. You'll see the answer to this question. Notice also the time this… pic.twitter.com/JsXWKrzxb1 — Congress (@INCIndia) September 18, 2025 Targeted deletions in Congress bastions According to Gandhi, the deletions were far from coincidental. He pointed out that the top 10 booths with the highest number of voter deletions were all Congress strongholds, with the party having secured victory in eight of them during the 2018 elections. This, he argued, was not a random occurrence but evidence of a “planned operation” targeting opposition voters. Further lashing out, the Congress MP stated, “Some groups of people are systematically targeting millions of voters for deletion. Minorities, Dalits, and Congress voters have been specifically targeted". Targeted deletions in strong Congress booths. 👉The top 10 booths with maximum deletions were Congress strongholds. 👉Congress won 8 out of the 10 booths in 2018. 👉 This was not a coincidence; this was a planned operation. : LoP Shri @RahulGandhi 📍 Delhi pic.twitter.com/DJV2YTIFv2 — Congress (@INCIndia) September 18, 2025 Gandhi claimed similar “targeted deletions” had also occurred in Maharashtra, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh, systematically focusing on minorities, Dalits, and Congress supporters. He cited another example from Maharashtra's Rajura constituency, where, he claims, following the same modus operandi, there had been alleged 6,850 voter additions. 'No response from EC' Gandhi also accused the Election Commission of stonewalling investigations. He slammed CEC Kumar for shielding those behind the alleged large-scale voter manipulation scheme. The LoP said the Karnataka CID has written 18 times in 18 months to the Election Commission seeking basic technical data that would expose the origin of the operation, but has received no cooperation. Let's come to why I'm making such a direct accusation against the CEC, Gyanesh Kumar. There is an ongoing investigation on this matter in Karnataka. The CID of Karnataka has sent 18 letters in 18 months to the Election Commission. And they have asked the election commission for… pic.twitter.com/V8aWBkfszj — Congress (@INCIndia) September 18, 2025 Quoting the CID’s letters, he added, “Number one, give us the destination IP from where these forms were filled. Number two, give us the device destination ports. And number three, most importantly, give us the OTP trails, because when you file, you have to get an OTP.” Gandhi alleged the EC has withheld these details deliberately. He also laid out the timeline -- an FIR filed on February 23; a CID request to the EC in March; a partial reply in August without the key data; another request on January 24 with no response; and by September 25, 18 reminder letters sent. Reiterating his earlier warning of a forthcoming “hydrogen bomb” of evidence, Gandhi said Thursday’s press conference was only a precursor. “This is not the H-bomb; that is coming. But this shows clearly how democracy is being hijacked in India.” The EC, however, quickly dismissed Gandhi’s charges, calling them “incorrect” and “baseless.” The poll panel rejected the Congress leader's claims of voter list manipulation, calling them “incorrect and baseless.” Quote
