US EditionBJP Accuses Rahul Gandhi of Displaying ‘Selective Outrage’ over EC Remarks
KARNATAKA, INDIA, AUG 7 – Rahul Gandhi claims over 100,000 fraudulent votes manipulated the 2024 Lok Sabha election outcome in Karnataka's Mahadevapura segment after a six-month investigation.
- On August 7, 2025, Rahul Gandhi held a press conference where he accused the BJP, with alleged involvement of the Election Commission, of orchestrating extensive electoral fraud during the 2024 Karnataka Lok Sabha elections.
- Gandhi's claims stemmed from detailed analysis of voter data from the Bangalore Central constituency, particularly the Mahadevapura Assembly segment, where he cited over 100,000 votes stolen by manipulation.
- He provided proof of duplicate, fraudulent, and invalid voter registrations, demanded access to electronic voter records and surveillance recordings spanning the past 15 years, and called for judicial action, cautioning that failure to respond could lead to severe consequences.
- BJP and government officials, including Sambit Patra and Dharmendra Pradhan, accused Gandhi of selective outrage, election rage, and losing composure after losing Bangalore Central by 32,707 votes.
- The controversy implies deep political polarisation, with Congress pressing the Election Commission for proof amid denials and a Constitutional Bench finding no fraud evidence, highlighting challenges to India's democracy.
