Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 17 (ANI): Shiv Sena leader Shaina NC on Sunday labelled Congress Voter Adhikar Yatra as Rumour Yatra and said that Rahul Gandhi must submit an affidavit to the Election Commission where he is repeatedly claiming of electoral irregularities.

While speaking to ANI, Shaina NC said, Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar has rightly said that Rahul Gandhi has two options. First, he should submit an affidavit stating where the votes were stolen. The Election Commission has been consistently doing its job. As an opposition party, it is your right to file a complaint, not to spread rumours. His yatra should not be called a Voter Adhikar Yatra but a Rumour Yatra.

The Chief Election Commisioner of India on Sunday refuted allegations of vote theft by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and asked him to either furnish a signed affidavit or apologise to the nation for his remarks.

The CEC also termed the allegations of bias by the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabhas as an insult to the Constitution of India....An affidavit will have to be given or an apology should be made to the country. Teesra koi vikalp nahi (There is no third option.) If the affidavit is not received within 7 days, it means that all these allegations are baseless... CEC Gyanesh Kumar said while addressing mediapersons at a briefing at the National Media Centre in the national capital.

Rahul Gandhi had on August 7 addressed a press conference in New Delhi, in which he presented Congress research on voting in the Mahadevapura Assembly in Karnataka, a part of the Bangalore Central parliamentary constituency.

Gandhi alleged vote chori (vote theft) of 1,00,250 votes, including duplicate voters, invalid addresses, and bulk registrations of votes at single locations. Rahul Gandhi further pointed out an instance of 80 people registered in a single address in Mahadevapura.

Rahul Gandhi had alleged that the poll body is destroying evidence through the directive deleting CCTV footage from polling booths. He alleged that the EC was only preserving CCTV and webcasting footage of the election process for only 45 days after the whole process is completed, unless the election result is challenged in court.
