Rahul Gandhi Takes on EC Over Voter List – Maharashtra Polls Heat Up!

Actually on 12th June, Election Commission (EC) had written a letter to Rahul. In which Rahul was called to discuss his allegations of rigging in the assembly elections. Now after 13 days, Rahul did not go to meet EC but a reply letter was sent from Congress. In which the party demands that they be given a digital copy of the voters list in Maharashtra elections. Also provide videography of voting day.

Congress said, if Election Commission sends them the data within a week, then they are ready to investigate it and discuss with EC.

Here Rahul Gandhi had written on X - 8% voters had increased in the voter list of Maharashtra Chief Minister (Devendra Fadnavis)'s constituency in 5 months. Voters increased by 20 to 50% at some booths. BLOs reported that unknown people had cast their votes. Media found thousands of voters without verifiable addresses. Election Commission is silent on this. Is this collusion? These are not separate irregularities. This is theft of votes. Hiding this is a confession. Therefore, we demand immediate release of machine readable digital voter list and CCTV footage.

EC had written in a letter sent to Rahul on June 12 that elections in the country are conducted very strictly through the Electoral Law passed by the Parliament of India, its rules and the instructions of the Election Commission from time to time. Maharashtra Assembly election process is conducted centrally at the assembly constituency level.

This includes more than 1,00,186 BLOs appointed by the EC, 288 electoral registration officers, 139 general observers, 41 police observers, 71 expenditure observers and 288 returning officers and 1 lakh 8 thousand 26 booth level agents appointed by national and state political parties in Maharashtra. These include 28,421 agents of Congress.
