🔥 Gandhi’s Warning to Citizens
Rahul Gandhi didn’t hold back. He warned that vote theft is just the beginning — if citizens lose their right to vote, they risk losing everything else.
His message during the Voter Adhikar Yatra is clear: protect your vote, protect your future.
📢 Election Commission’s Stand
In response, Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar rejected the allegations, stating:
- A permanent address is not mandatory for voter registration
- Even individuals living under bridges or in unauthorized settlements are given notional addresses to ensure voting rights
- The EC has demanded a sworn affidavit from Rahul Gandhi to support his claims, calling them “deceptive and misleading”
🧨 Political Fallout
The controversy has triggered a wave of protests and reactions across the country:
- Congress held marches in Delhi, Jaipur, and Patna, chanting slogans like “Vote Chor, Gaddi Chhod”
- Rahul Gandhi released a viral spoof video showing a man reporting his “stolen vote” to the police
- Opposition leaders including Tejashwi Yadav backed Gandhi, calling it a fight to save the Constitution
