Nagpur (Maharashtra) [India], September 20 (ANI): Reacting to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s allegations over vote theft, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar stated that it was “wrong” of him to give such a message after losing.
“Rahul Gandhi is the opposition leader. His party, the Congress, has functioned as the ruling party in this country for many years. The public decides who to elect. It is very wrong to give such a message after losing…” Pawar told ANI.
The remarks come a day after Rahul Gandhi said that India’s Gen-Z would play an important role in protecting the Constitution and democracy, and pledged to support them in their fight against alleged “vote theft.”
Rahul Gandhi posted on X, “The Youth of the Country The Students of the Country The Gen Z of the Country Will save the Constitution, protect democracy, and stop vote theft. I always stand with them. Jai Hind!”
This comes amid his fresh allegations of an attempt at vote theft in Karnataka’s Aland constituency before the 2023 assembly polls.
Addressing a press conference on Thursday, he claimed that there was an attempt to delete more than 6,000 voters’ names from the Aland constituency in Karnataka.
“In Aland, Karnataka, 6018 votes, somebody tried to delete these votes. We don’t know the total number of votes deleted in 2023 elections, but somebody got caught. It was caught, by most crimes, by coincidence. What happened was that the Booth Level officer noticed that her uncle’s vote had been deleted,” he said.
The Lok Sabha LoP further alleged that the Chief Election Commissioner, Gyanesh Kumar, is “protecting vote chors” and is fully aware of how fraud is occurring in the deletion and addition of fake voters to the voter list. He stated that he has “10 per cent proof” that the Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar is “protecting vote chors (vote thieves).
Speaking on the protests in Nepal, Pawar said that the same should not have happened, further stating that all should unite and work together.
“What happened in Nepal was wrong. I say that this should not happen in any country in the world. There should be unity. Everyone should work together…” he said. (ANI)
