Vote theft charge: Congress leader seeks digital data of voters’ rolls from EC

Andhra Pradesh Congress Party Professionals Head Valluru Bhargav on Sunday demanded that the Election Commission of India release complete digital data of the voter lists in the wake of “the exposure of vote theft by party leader Rahul Gandhi.”

In a statement, Mr. Bhargav said that every citizen’s vote value should be reviewed collectively across the nation. He said: “With the Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi exposing vote rigging in certain constituencies, the public is also expressing outrage over the conduct of the Election Commission,” and he urged the BJP government to intervene and demand that the Election Commission hold a “Mann Ki Baat” on this matter, as the entire nation wants to know the value of their vote.

He warned that for everyone involved in vote-tampering, the democratic alarm bell has now rung. Accusing the BJP government at the Centre of failing miserably in its foreign policy, he said now the ruling party leaders were trying various tricks to distract the attention of the people of this country from its series of failures. He warned that the public was closely watching the developments and that people would soon teach a befitting lesson to the BJP and its allies at the Centre.
