Rahul has not produced single explosive proof: BJP MP
It is in the Mahadevapura Assembly segment of his constituency, Congress leader claims, that 1,00,250 votes were 'stolen'. Mohan said, BJP won in Mahadevapura, a Hindu-dominated segment, because Hindus voted decisively against dynasty, appeasement, and entitlement.
Earlier in the day, Rahul Gandhi cited an analysis of data from Bangalore Central Lok Sabha constituency to make claims of 'huge criminal fraud' in 2024 polls, perpetrated by the BJP through the Election Commission.
The Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha said that the Congress analysed the voter data of the Lok Sabha constituency of Bangalore Central and the Mahadevapura Assembly segment in it.
He claimed that approximately 1,00,250 votes were 'stolen' in the Mahadevapura assembly segment. 'Rahul Gandhi drops an atom bomb of allegations, but still can't produce a single explosive proof.
If 1,00,250 votes were stolen in Mahadevapura, why wasn't a case filed in court within 45 days instead of holding a press conference one year later? This is just another drama,' Mohan said.

Mahua Moitra fainted during Opposition march, claims Derek O'Brien
A protest march by INDIA bloc MPs to the Election Commission's office in the capital on Monday saw high drama, with Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra fainting midway and being attended to by party colleagues. TMC MP Mahua Moitra and other opposition MPs hold a protest against Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls in Bihar at Parliament premises during the monsoon session, in New Delhi.(ANI) The Opposition MPs, led by Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, began their march from Parliament's Makar Dwar to Nirvachan Sadan, accusing the poll body of ignoring 'voter theft' during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections and raising slogans of 'vote chor.' The demonstration also targeted the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in poll-bound Bihar, which leaders alleged was being used to manipulate the voter list. Delhi Police stopped the MPs, saying no permission had been sought for the protest. Congress MP Imran Pratapgarhi countered that such permission was 'never' granted, accusing the police of acting on government directions. Samajwadi Party's Dimple Yadav alleged booth capturing in recent Uttar Pradesh bypolls, while RJD's Manoj Jha called the SIR a 'fraud' and accused the EC of withholding data despite Supreme Court orders. Congress MP Pramod Tiwari likened the march to Mahatma Gandhi's Dandi March, saying it was aimed at 'saving democracy.'

‘Vote chori' row: ‘lame duck excuses, puerile legalese', Congress hits back as Haryana CEO demands oath from Rahul Gandhi
Hours after the Haryana Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) wrote to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi Sunday regarding his allegations of the 'inclusion of ineligible voters' in the state—and requested a formal declaration under oath—Rajya Sabha MP and senior Congress leader Randeep Singh Surjewala hit back at the Election Commission of India, saying 'these notices will not dilute the unpardonable sin it is committing'. A Sreenivas, CEO, Haryana, sent the letter to Rahul Gandhi Sunday while referring to the allegations levelled by him in a press conference held on August 7. In his latest letter, the CEO said, 'It is requested that the signed declaration/oath may be returned to this office within ten (10) days, so that necessary proceedings may be initiated in accordance with the provisions of the Representation of the People Act, 1950, and the Registration of Electoral Rules, 1960.' Tagging the CEO's letter on social media platform X, Surjewala said: 'When confronted with evidence of mass manipulation of voter rolls, the Election Commission seeks to hide the 'Voter Fraud' with its lame duck excuses, puerile legalese and fake technicalities. No wonder that it is now named as 'Election Capture of India' – ECI.' Surjewala alleged: 'The malicious stonewalling and obfuscation of Election Commission to address the issue of 'vote theft' and hide behind excuses establishes its 'fear of truth'. Not once has the ECI and BJP said that Rahul ji's assertion of vote theft is wrong.' Stating that EC 'is not a passive clerk of electoral paperwork', Surjewala said: 'It is a constitutional guardian of the level playing field and free and fair polls, the lifeblood of democracy.' 'To evade scrutiny in favour of procedural smokescreens is not neutrality. It is an abdication of duty that corrodes the very democracy it is meant to protect. It is nothing short of a crime against democracy and the Constitution and these notices will not dilute the unpardonable sin it is committing,' he added. The Haryana Assembly elections were held in October 2024, in which the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won 48 seats while the Congress won 31 seats for the 90-member Vidhan Sabha.
