Addressing a press conference, Gandhi alleged that fake people were being added to voter lists and attempted to validate his point by showing the Karnataka electoral rolls.

The Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha claimed there was “bhayankar chori” (massive theft) of votes in the Mahadevapura assembly segment of Bangalore Central Lok Sabha seat.

Responding to the allegations, sources in the Election Commission hit back sharply, saying: “Ya to sign karke dein ya phir Bharat ki janta ko gumrah na karein aur Chunav Aayog par bebuniyaad aarop lagana band karein (Either sign and submit evidence, or stop misleading the people of India and making baseless accusations against the poll body).”

Gandhi claimed that out of 6.5 lakh votes in the Mahadevapura assembly segment, there was a “vote chori” of over 1 lakh votes. “An internal research by Congress found over one lakh duplicate voters, invalid addresses, bulk voters in Mahadevapura constituency in Karnataka,” he said.

Bangalore Central saw a close contest in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. While Congress candidate Mansoor Ali Khan maintained a lead for most of the counting, the final results saw BJP’s PC Mohan securing a narrow victory margin of 32,707 votes….
