Rahul Gandhi accuses Election Commission of enabling voter fraud in Karnataka, warns of action with 100% proof of malpractice.
NEW DELHI: Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Thursday once again targeted the Election Commission (EC) accusing it of "enabling" electoral fraud in Karnataka and issued a stern message saying that if you think you can get away with it, you are mistaken and we are going to come for you.
Rahul Gandhi made the remarks while speaking with the media in Parliament.
The former Congress President said that this is a serious issue as the Election Commission is not functioning as Election Commission of India.
He said that today the poll panel made some statement that is complete nonsense.
The Congress leader said that the fact of the matter is that the Election Commission is not doing its job.
"Now we have concrete 100 per cent proof of Election Commission allowing cheating in a seat in Karnataka. Not 90 per cent, when we decide to show it to you, it is a 100 per cent proof," Rahul Gandhi said.
He said that we just looked at once constituency and we found this. "And I am absolutely convinced that constituency after constituency this is the drama that is taking place. Thousands of thousands of new voters. How old are they 50, 45, 60 and 65, thousands and thousands of new voters in one constituency in Karnataka," he remarked.
He also said that voter addition, voter deletion, new voter, who are way above 18 and "we have caught them".
"I want to send a message to the Election Commission: If you think you are going to get away with it, if your officers think they are going to get away with it, you are mistaken. You are not going to get away with it, because we are going to come for you," the Leader of Opposition said in a stern message to the poll panel.
His remarks came as the opposition has been demanding for a detailed discussion on the Special Intensive Revisoon of voter rolls in Bihar by the Election Commission.
The opposition also held protest at the Makar Dwar in Parliament, which was also joined by Congress Parliamentary Party (CPP) chairperson Sonia Gandhivalong with the opposition leaders.
Earlier, Rahul Gandhi had alleged about alleged rigging by the EC in Maharashtra assembly polls bg adding over almost one crore voters between 2024 Lok Sabha and assembly polls in the state.
The EC had earlier also dismissed Rahul Gandhi's allegations on Maharashtra polls and had said that electoral rolls are prepared transparently and copies were shared with the recognised parties.
