Rahul Gandhi Exposes Alleged Voter Fraud in Mahadevapura; Siddaramaiah Calls for PM Modi\u2019s Resignation<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Bengaluru, Aug 7:<\/strong>\u00a0Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday released documents purportedly sourced from the Election Commission of India (ECI), alleging large-scale electoral fraud in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. The findings, which focus on the Mahadevapura Assembly segment in Bengaluru, have triggered a political firestorm, with Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah demanding Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s resignation over what he called a “fraudulent mandate.”<\/p>\n

Congress Alleges Systematic Voter Manipulation<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A six-month investigation led by Rahul Gandhi claims the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secured its victory in Mahadevapura through widespread irregularities. According to the report, the constituency\u2014with only 3.75 lakh registered voters\u2014saw over 1.25 lakh allegedly fraudulent votes favoring the BJP.<\/p>\n

“The findings prove that Modi has no moral right to continue as Prime Minister,” Siddaramaiah told reporters. “He should resign immediately. The Congress will take this issue to the people and expose the BJP\u2019s misuse of power and the Election Commission\u2019s inaction.”<\/p>\n

Five Key Irregularities Uncovered<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Congress investigation identified five major categories of alleged electoral malpractice:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Fake Voters<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 11,965 instances of multiple voting, including votes cast in other parts of Karnataka and outside the state.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Bogus Addresses<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 40,009 voters registered with unverifiable or fake addresses, some with non-existent house numbers or random English letters in place of parent\/spouse names.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Overcrowded Residences<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 10,452 voters linked to a handful of addresses, including 80 voter IDs tied to a single one-bedroom home and 68 registered at a private club where none resided.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    Unidentifiable Photographs<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 4,132 voter ID cards featured no photos, blurred images, or pictures too small to verify identity.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  5. \n

    Elderly First-Time Voters<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 33,692 individuals aged 60 to 98 were listed as first-time voters under Form 6, raising suspicions of fabricated entries.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Siddaramaiah Questions Election Commission\u2019s Role<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    The Chief Minister accused the ECI of suppressing evidence, citing its refusal to act on Rahul Gandhi\u2019s requests for CCTV footage and voter database access. “The Commission arbitrarily changed its rules to withhold information,” Siddaramaiah alleged.<\/p>\n

    He further claimed the irregularities were not isolated to Mahadevapura. “This is a nationwide pattern. The BJP has clung to power through electoral fraud,” he asserted.<\/p>\n

    Political Fallout and Next Steps<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    The Congress has vowed to escalate the issue, with plans to mobilize public opinion against the BJP ahead of upcoming state elections. Meanwhile, the BJP has yet to issue an official response to the allegations.<\/p>\n

    As the controversy intensifies, pressure mounts on the Election Commission to address the claims and restore public trust in the electoral process. Legal experts suggest the findings could lead to petitions challenging the election results in affected constituencies.<\/p>\n
