Congress leader and Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi intensified his allegations against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Election Commission on Saturday, claiming his party possesses definitive proof of electoral manipulation and promising to release what he termed a “hydrogen bomb” of evidence.
Rahul Gandhi promises Hydrogen Bomb evidence
Rahul Gandhi asserted the Congress has “open-and-shut proof” of systematic vote manipulation. “We are going to reveal a hydrogen bomb that is going to devastate completely the reality of the situation. We have open and shut proof on what we are saying. I am not saying anything without proof, we have 100 per cent of a number of things that have happened that are going to come out,” he declared.
When questioned whether this evidence would specifically target Modi’s Varanasi constituency, Gandhi remained evasive. “That is for you to guess, that is for you to speculate. I will do my job, I will deliver on my job,” he replied.
The Congress leader referenced previous allegations of fraudulent voter roll manipulation in Karnataka constituencies. “We have shown it in Mahadevpura, we have shown it in Aland. We are going to show it in such a way that there will be no one in India who will doubt Narendra Modi ji has done vote chori and won the election,” he said.
Rahul Gandhi targets ECI chief over vote chori!
Gandhi also targeted Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, alleging complicity in electoral fraud. He cited an ongoing Karnataka CID investigation into attempts to delete over 6,000 names from electoral rolls in Aland constituency. “There is a CID investigation going in Karnataka. CID has specifically asked for information on phone numbers that have been used to do vote chori. Gyanesh Kumar is CEC that the Karnataka CID is asking for. There can be no bigger indictment of the CEC than this. This is not my statement; this is the fact,” Gandhi claimed.
The BJP strongly rejected these allegations. Senior leader Ravi Shankar Prasad accused Gandhi of misleading the public and attempting to incite unrest. “What does Rahul Gandhi want to convey by such posts? Is he trying to incite violence and create anarchy in the country? His act is against democracy, the Constitution, and the nation. I strongly condemn this unfortunate and unacceptable statement,” Prasad said.
Prasad questioned Gandhi’s timeline, noting Kumar’s recent appointment versus the 2023 case dates.
