During a public hearing held in the Trilokpuri area of Delhi, Rahul Gandhi raised serious questions regarding electoral transparency and alleged major discrepancies in voter lists. Taking to social media platform X, he shared his observations from the ground, stating that he witnessed glaring evidence of vote tampering during the session. According to his statement, solely across four polling booths, 416 votes were deleted without any valid justification and through unlawful means.
Demand For Booth-Level Auditing
Addressing the gathered crowds and sharing his concerns online, Rahul Gandhi emphasized that a thorough audit of every single polling booth is absolute necessity. He argued that the true extent of alleged irregularities involving the Election Commission and ruling authorities cannot be exposed without independent and comprehensive verification at the grassroots level. This perspective has formed the core of the opposition's ongoing campaign.
Call For CEC Resignation And Upcoming Protests
Stepping up the political confrontation, Rahul Gandhi launched a direct attack on Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar during public interactions in Delhi, claiming that the manipulation originates from the highest levels. The opposition has declared that their agitation and protests will continue unabated until the Chief Election Commissioner steps down from his post. In furtherance of this demand, a major opposition-led demonstration has been scheduled for November 1.
Public Reaction
The developments sparked intense public discourse and varied reactions online, with supporters praising the leadership for raising transparency concerns while critics questioned the validity and timing of the allegations.
