NEW DELHI: Leader of opposition in Lok Sabha on Wednesday promised a big exposé on poll "theft" after "investigating" one Lok Sabha seat in Karnataka.
"In Karnataka, we have found out 'bhayankar chori (massive theft)'. I will show it in black and white to you and the Election Commission . I will show in black and white how the 'chori' is done and from where. We have it in black and white in Karnataka," PTI quoted Rahul saying.
"They know that we have understood their game. We picked one constituency and did a deep dive. Problem is that they give a voters list on paper and paper list cannot be analysed. We took the full voters list of one constituency, we put it on digital format, it took six months but we have uncovered their whole system, how they do it, who votes and from where new voters are brought," he added.
His remarks followed revelations from the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral roll in Bihar, where poll officials found that over 52 lakh voters were missing from their registered addresses and another 18 lakh had died.
"It is not just about 52 lakhs. It is not just about Bihar, they cheated in Maharashtra. We have asked questions of the Election Commission, asked them to show us the voters list, they did not show us the voters list, we asked for videography, they changed the law. One crore new voters had come in Maharashtra and election was stolen," the Congress leader said.
Later, in an X post, he reiterated the same thing saying that the INDIA bloc would "fight for people’s rights from Parliament to the streets."
"We’ve shown everyone how match-fixing happened in Maharashtra.We investigated one Lok Sabha seat in Karnataka – widespread vote theft was found, and we’ll soon bring it before the public.In Bihar, votes of SC, ST, OBC, and minority brothers and sisters are being stolen in the name of SIR.We won’t sit quietly.The INDIA alliance will fight for people’s rights from Parliament to the streets," he said.
The opposition has been staging protests in both houses of Parliament, accusing the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise of being a deliberate attempt to disenfranchise voters in Bihar ahead of the assembly elections.
