Bhatti 'Rahul Gandhi’s Warning on Vote Theft Has Come True'

Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka said that the repeated warnings given by AICC senior leader Rahul Gandhi that citizens’ voting rights were being systematically undermined through “vote theft” in the country over the past few years have now been proved true. 

He expressed deep concern over the manner in which citizens’ votes were allegedly being deleted in the name of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, stating that



the acknowledgement of the issue by other Election Commissioners themselves was an unfortunate development for the country’s democracy.

Following the AICC’s call for the immediate resignation of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar, Congress leaders and workers, under the leadership of the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC), organised a massive protest on Monday in front of the State Election Commission office at BRK Bhavan in Hyderabad.
