SIR exercise institutionalised vote theft: Rahul Gandhi
Mr. Gandhi on Thursday (August 7, 2025) claimed a “huge criminal fraud” in polls through “collusion” between the BJP and the Election Commission of India, citing an analysis of voter rolls in a constituency in Karnataka last year.
A day after, he alleged that the Election Commission of India and the BJP colluded to “steal” the Lok Sabha election from the people, and that there was “vote theft” in at least three states.
