Vote Chori Row: Amit Shah Targets Rahul Gandhi As Congress Alleges Voter Deletions

The political showdown over the Opposition’s vote chori allegations continues, with Union Home Minister Amit Shah launching a fresh attack on Rahul Gandhi and the Congress. Shah dismissed the allegations as an excuse for electoral defeats, while the Congress hit back, calling his claims a “bundle of lies.” Congress leader Jairam Ramesh cited Election Commission data to allege that over 10 crore Indians risk losing their voting rights, accusing the poll body of facilitating targeted voter deletions. Meanwhile, the INDIA bloc’s virtual meeting to discuss protests, demand Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar’s resignation and prepare for its November 1 rally in Delhi has been deferred, with no fresh date announced. As the BJP and Congress trade accusations, the controversy surrounding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls remains a major political flashpoint.
