Rahul Gandhi Alleges '100% Rigging' in Indian Elections, Calls ECI and BJP 'Destroyers of Democracy'
Gandhi said the 2024 Lok Sabha elections were fake and demanded the chief election commissioner’s resignation as he cited objections inside the Election Commission.
- On Thursday, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi alleged with "100% certainty" that Indian elections, including the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, were rigged, demanding the immediate resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
- The controversy stems from reports that Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi formally objected at least 14 times over 10 months to decisions on the Special Intensive Revision made without their knowledge.
- Gandhi claimed anti-incumbency "suddenly" disappeared for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and the BJP, a phenomenon he said resists every government but never affects them.
- Separately, Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke threatened to launch protests on Thursday if Kumar does not resign within 48 hours, while Gandhi warned "there are going to be consequences."
- Asserting that the Constitution loses power if the vote is destroyed, Gandhi claimed laws passed by Parliament become illegal, terming the alleged theft as "vote chori," "kanoon chori," and "sanstha chori.
