Elections stolen, alleges Rahul Gandhi; Election Commission of India demands proof ‘under oath’
Accusing the Election Commission of India (ECI) of “criminal fraud” and collusion with the BJP to steal elections, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, on Thursday (August 7, 2025) claimed that 1,00,250 “fake votes” were created in the Mahadevapura Assembly seat under the Bangalore Central Lok Sabha constituency in order to ensure a win for the BJP.
Taking cognizance of Mr. Gandhi’s allegations of voter roll manipulations in a Karnataka Assembly seat, the Karnataka Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) asked him to submit his evidence under oath.
“I am a politician, what I say to the people is my word. I am saying it to the people publicly, take it as an oath. Interestingly, they haven’t denied the information,” the former Congress chief said in response.
