Rahul Gandhi Alleges Vote Theft in Bihar, Demands Probe into Election Commission’s Role
New Delhi | August 11, 2025 – In a major storm ahead of the Bihar Assembly elections, Congress leader and Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi has accused the Election Commission of India (ECI) of colluding with the ruling BJP to manipulate voter lists and enable large-scale vote theft.
Rahul Gandhi’s Explosive Claim:
Rahul Gandhi said Congress conducted an independent six-month investigation into the voter registration process, uncovering what he described as “open-and-shut proof” of ECI’s involvement in electoral fraud.
“We have an atom bomb of evidence that will shake the entire system… This is nothing less than treason,” Gandhi stated during a press briefing, adding that the findings will be made public soon.
States Under Alleged Influence:
Gadhi alleged that the malpractice is not limited to Bihar. He cited examples from Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Chhattisgarh, and Karnataka, claiming that similar manipulated voter lists were found in these states.
In Bengaluru’s Mahadevapura constituency alone, he claimed, over 100,000 fake voters were identified.
Election Commission’s Response:
The ECI strongly rejected the allegations, calling them “wild, deplorable, and irresponsible.” The commission urged its officers to remain focused and unaffected by “politically motivated accusations.”
Officials also challenged Rahul Gandhi to submit a signed affidavit with documented proof or publicly apologise for misleading the country.
