BJP has ended up backing our fake voter charge, says Congress

Congress on Thursday sought to counter BJP's claims of election fraud in constituencies of senior Opposition MPs such as Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Akhilesh Yadav, Dimple Yadav , Abhishek Banerjee and Tamil Nadu chief minister MK Stalin by saying that the ruling party's accusations only supported the Congress charge of large-scale election irregularities and asked whether BJP would agree to cancelling the 2024 Lok Sabha election results.

Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi appealed to youths to support the Bihar Opposition alliance leaders' march on Sunday against the special intensive revision of electoral rolls in the state and "vote theft". "Anurag Thakur's press conference proved that the last general election was held on fake votes. He only validated what Rahul Gandhi had said a week ago. Shouldn't the 2024 election, therefore, be cancelled?" said Congress spokesman Pawan Khera.

He asked Thakur to make public electronic voter list data of PM Narendra Modi's Varanasi constituency. He said while it took Congress six months of probe to show fake voters in a Karnataka assembly seat, how did the BJP spokesman manage to get "machine-readable electronic data" of Opposition leaders' seats within six days, alleging an ECI-BJP nexus.
