Overview
- Rahul Gandhi, who posted on X on Wednesday, accused the BJP of winning seats through “vote theft” and said entire governments can be taken over.
- He claimed that of the BJP’s 240 Lok Sabha MPs, roughly every sixth won through such malpractice and he singled out Haryana as an “infiltrator” government.
- He alleged those in power manipulate voter lists and keep key institutions under control, arguing the BJP would struggle in fully fair elections.
- BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra rejected the charges, called Gandhi an unfit leader, and predicted the opposition INDIA bloc would fall apart within weeks.
- News outlets noted no independent verification of the theft claims, and the BJP pointed to India’s election system as robust and overseen by the Election Commission.
