Polls being ‘stolen', will show ‘vote theft' with Karnataka LS seat example: Rahul
Amid protests by Opposition parties inside and outside Parliament against the ongoing Special Intensive Revision of electoral roll in poll-bound Bihar, Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi Wednesday alleged that elections are being 'stolen' and said that he was going to show it in 'black and white' with an example of a Lok Sabha constituency in Karnataka, which he claimed the party has studied. In Delhi, Gandhi told the reporters that: 'They cheated in Maharashtra. We asked questions and asked for the voters list. They didn't show it. We asked for videography, and they changed the law for videography. One crore voters were added in Maharashtra and they stole the election.' Alleging discrepancies in voters list of a constituency in Karnataka during the 2024 LS polls, Gandhi said: 'We have… caught huge theft in Karnataka. I will show you in black and white, and I will show the EC… They have understood what their game is… We chose one constituency and did a deep dive.' 'The problem is they give voters lists on paper, which can't be analysed. For one constituency, we took the voters list, and converted it into digital format. It took us six months, but we have figured out their system — how they do it, who votes, where the votes are cast, and how new voters are created… They are doing it under a new system in Bihar — they will delete voters. Elections are being stolen in India and that is the reality.' Congress sources said Gandhi was referring to Bangalore North constituency. Sharing a video of his remarks on X, Gandhi said, 'We showed everyone how match-fixing happened in Maharashtra. We investigated one Lok Sabha seat in Karnataka — large-scale vote theft was found, we will soon bring it before the public.' Gandhi said that in Bihar, votes of SC, ST and OBC communities and minorities are being stolen in the name of the electoral roll revision.

A dam at Mekedatu will turn Cauvery delta in Tamil Nadu into a desert: EPS
The AIADMK general secretary and the Leader of Opposition, Edappadi said on Wednesday that the delta districts would turn into a desert if Karnataka builds a a dam across the Cauvery at Mekedatu. Campaigning at Orathanadu, he pointed out that for the last four days there were reports that the Karnataka Chief Minister and his colleagues were firm on pursuing their proposal to construct a dam at Mekedatu. They went on record that the project would be implemented once the Centre approves the detailed project report filed by that State in this regard. On the other hand, there was not even a murmur over this issue from the DMK which rules Tamil Nadu, he added and questioned what the 39 MPs elected from Tamil Nadu and the DMK party, which is a constituent of the I.N.D.I. Alliance, was doing. 'Why not the DMK take up this issue with the Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi to ensure that the Congress Government in Karnataka drops the proposal,' he questioned. With regard to the accusation by the DMK on the alliance forged by the AIADMK, he said it was the same DMK and its alliance parties that claimed that an alliance with the BJP would fail, earlier. Stating that the AIADMK-BJP alliance was always a formidable and victorious combination, he said it would win around 210 seats and the AIADMK would form the government with a majority. Later, he addressed meetings at Pattukottai and Peravurani as part of his Makkalai Kappom, Thamizhagathai Meetpom campaign.

Elections being 'stolen'; will show it in 'black and white' to EC with Karnataka example: Rahul Gandhi
As demands for discussion on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar have brought the Parliament to a standstill, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday said that the Congress has figured out how "votes are being stolen" in India. Speaking to reporters at the Parliament House complex after the Lok Sabha proceedings were adjourned for a third consecutive day amid opposition protests over Bihar SIR among other issues, Gandhi asserted that he would put before the people and the Election Commission in "black in white" how the "theft of votes" is being done. Gandhi highlighted the recent revelation by the EC that during house-to-house visits in the ongoing SIR of electoral roll in Bihar, poll officials have so far found more than 52 lakh voters were not present at their addresses and another 18 lakh have died. "It is not just about 52 lakhs. It is not just about Bihar, they cheated in Maharashtra. We have asked questions of the Election Commission, asked them to show us the voters list; they did not show us the voters list, we asked for videography, they changed the law. One crore new voters had come in Maharashtra, and the election was stolen," he said. "In Karnataka, we have found out 'bhayankar chori (massive theft)'. I will show it in black and white to you and the Election Commission. I will show in black and white how the 'chori' is done and from where. We have it in black and white in Karnataka," the former Congress president said.
