Are Rigged Voter Rolls Robbing Indian Democracy?

The Election Commission demands verifiable proof for Rahul Gandhi's allegations of over 100,000 fraudulent votes in Karnataka, emphasizing legal processes uphold election integrity.

  • On August 14, 2025, the ECI in New Delhi objected to political leaders using 'Vote Chori', calling it an attack on voter dignity and election staff integrity.
  • Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha, alleged on August 7 that the BJP added fake names and orchestrated a 'massive theft of votes' in Mahadevapura Assembly segment.
  • His analysis outlined 11,965 duplicate entries and 40,009 voters with invalid addresses in the electoral rolls.
  • Requiring sworn declarations, the ECI said proof should be provided via a written affidavit rather than accusing all electors as 'Chor' without evidence, and directed Gandhi to file a signed declaration.
  • Against this backdrop, the ECI said electoral roll changes can only follow legal procedures, as Congress announced 'Loktantra bachao' protest marches on August 14, 2025.
