Rahul Gandhi alleges vote theft after Maharashtra SIR draft roll

With more than 2.06 crore electors excluded from Maharashtra’s draft electoral roll after the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday alleged that the BJP and the “Vote Chori Aayog” keep changing their tactics and will continue to do so, as their goal remains to ensure the BJP’s victory at any cost.

Gandhi said that, for a government built on “vote chori”, the people are not important, and that is why the BJP neither listens to the people nor obeys their



command.

“The BJP and the ‘Vote Chori Aayog’ keep changing their tactics, and they will continue to do so — the goal remains just one: BJP’s victory at any cost, and the end of India’s democracy,” the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha said in a post in Hindi on X.

More than 2.06 crore electors, accounting for 21.14 per cent of Maharashtra’s previous voter base, have not figured in the draft electoral roll following a Special Intensive Revision (SIR), the Chief Electoral Officer said on Monday.
