Rahul Gandhi : speaking at a seminar in Germany on the “problem with electoral machinery in India”
Rahul Gandhi : Speaking during a lecture in Berlin, Germany, Rahul Gandhi, the leader of the opposition in the Lok Sabha, once again accused the Indian government of “vote theft” by pointing out that the voter list had identical voters.
The Congress won the 2024 Haryana Assembly elections, according to Rahul Gandhi, while the 2024 Maharashtra Assembly elections “were not fair.”
When their party brought up the problem, the Lok Sabha LoP revealed that they never received a “response” from the Election Commission.
Rahul Gandhi said, “We have won elections in Telangana, Himachal Pradesh,” when speaking at the Hertie School on “Politics Is The Art Of Listening.” We have been bringing up concerns about the impartiality of India’s elections. I have conducted press conferences in India where we have unequivocally shown that we won the Haryana poll and that we believe the Maharashtra elections were unfair. The institutional structure of our nation is under full-scale attack. We questioned the Election Commission directly.
In Haryana, a Brazilian lady appeared on the voting list 22 times. We received no answer. We really think that there is an issue with India’s voting system,” he said.
Rahul Gandhi also claimed that the Center has “weaponized” investigative agencies, implying a trade-off wherein Indian businesspeople fund the BJP instead of opposition parties.
“Our institutional framework has been completely captured,” he said. The ED and CBI, two of our intelligence services, have been turned into weapons. The majority of political charges are against those who oppose the BJP, whereas the ED and CBI have zero cases against the party. You face threats as a businessman if you attempt to back the Congress. To increase its political dominance, the BJP makes advantage of India’s institutional structure. Take a look at how much money the opposition and the BJP have.
Congress will establish a “system of resistance” to prevent the seizure of institutions, he said.
“The democratic system is under threat. We must figure out how to combat this. We shall establish an effective mechanism of opposing resistance. The Congress politician said, “We are not battling the BJP, but rather their takeover of the Indian institutional system.
Rahul Gandhi is in Germany for five days.
The Central Government has been repeatedly accused by the Lok Sabha LoP of “vote theft” and “rigging” elections via manipulation of voter lists.
