Rahul Gandhi, Leader of the Opposition in India's Lok Sabha, has alleged widespread vote theft and manipulation in the 2024 general elections, claiming that over 100,000 votes were stolen and presenting evidence from a six-month survey in Karnataka. He has accused the Election Commission of India (ECI) of being influenced by the ruling BJP and failing to address these concerns. Gandhi has called for transparency and demanded the release of electronic voting data. In response, the Election Commission has issued notices to Gandhi through Chief Electoral Officers in Karnataka, Haryana, and Maharashtra, demanding that he sign a formal declaration or affidavit supporting his claims or issue a public apology. The ECI has dismissed his allegations as baseless and challenged him to provide authenticated evidence. BJP leaders have criticized Gandhi's accusations, calling them unfounded and politically motivated, urging him to file formal complaints and apologize if he cannot substantiate his claims. Several Congress and allied party leaders have supported Gandhi's assertions, stating that vote manipulation has impacted election outcomes in states like Maharashtra and Odisha. The controversy has sparked a political debate, with opposition MPs planning a march to the Election Commission's office to demand accountability. The issue has drawn attention nationwide, with discussions on the integrity of the electoral process and the role of the Election Commission in ensuring free and fair elections.
