NEW DELHI: Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi addressed a party rally against “Vote Chori” here on Sunday, repeating his allegations of electoral manipulation by the BJP and its “collusion” with the ECI.
“They do vote chori, ” said Gandhi, alleging that Prime Minister Narendra Modi offered full immunity to “colluding” Election Commission officials by amending the law.
He named the Chief Election Commissioner and the two Election Commissioners from the stage at Ramlila Maidan, claiming that PM Modi has said that no action can be taken against them, no matter what these officials do.
Without naming the ruling party, Gandhi alleged that while voting is taking place, they give Rs 10, 000.
“They look confident only till they are in power, ” he said, recalling Mahatma Gandhi’s observation that truth is supreme.
“I guarantee you that by putting our force behind truth and upholding the ideology of the Hindu religion and all other religions that describe truth as supreme, we will remove them from power, ” he said.
Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge said the BJP and the RSS are sowing seeds of venom through their divisive ideology, and the Congress is committed to upholding its own ideology and will remove the BJP from power.
