Rahul Gandhi alleges EC involvement in voter fraud, claims having "open-and-shut proof"

New Delhi [India], August 1 (ANI): Congress MP and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, has levelled serious allegations against the Election Commission of India (ECI), accusing it of direct involvement in large-scale voter fraud with the Congress having open-and-shut proof of the alleged theft.

Talking to reporters on the Bihar Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise, the Congress leader alleged that the motive behind the voter fraud was to benefit the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

Rahul Gandhi said, Votes are being stolen. We have open-and-shut proof that the Election Commission is involved in this vote theft. And Im not saying this lightly, Im speaking with 100 proof. And when we release it (proof), the entire country will come to know that the Election Commission is enabling vote theft. And who are they doing it for? Theyre doing it for the BJP.

Gandhi said that the findings of an investigation by the Congress amount to nothing short of an atom bomb, with implications severe enough to shake the very foundations of the ECI.

We had suspicion of voter theft, and we got into its granularity. Since the Election Commision was not helpful in the investigation, we did our own. It took six months and the things we found are an Atom Bomb and when this atom bomb explodes you wont see Election Commission in the country, he added.

Taking a hardline stance, Gandhi warned individuals within the Commission he alleged that the steps taken by EC are no less than treason.

Most importantly, whoever in the Elections Commission is involved in this exercise, right from top to bottom, we will not spare you. You are working against India and this no less than treason. Wherever you are, even if you are retired, we will find you, said the Lok Sabha LoP.

Meanwhile, Senior Congress leaders and Members of Parliament Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra met Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla at Parliament House on Friday amid the continuing impasse between the ruling BJP and the Opposition bloc over the functioning of the House. (ANI)
