Public sentiment is largely supportive of Rahul Gandhi's allegations against the Election Commission, highlighting concerns over electoral integrity and manipulation. Many commenters express distrust towards the ruling BJP and call for immediate investigation and accountability. There is a significant demand for transparency in the electoral process, although opinions are polarized, with some defending the BJP and questioning Gandhi's credibility. Overall, a considerable portion of the public advocates for systemic change to restore democratic integrity.

“Digital India” except for when you want to hide things

Anyways, this seems to be irrefutable, it’s literally public information available through ECI, easily verifiable

Unfair_Fact_8258

There are no allegations, these are verifiable facts from ECI’s own website. 

Just take the names and do a search

bhodrolok

I hope he files a case in Supreme Court. With all the evidences. Pretty sure the database is going to be copied and exposed will be deleted. So hope the investigating panel will involve cyber forensics team. It is sad there is a breach in the system and current government should address this. We may even see some distraction topics in coming days. Please everyone vote carefully, make the government whoever is in charge responsible. All these things indirectly affect us. Example: SSC examination look how pathetically the exam was conducted. Also I see as we go more digital it is harder for people to do corruption.

I’m not from Karnataka, so I don’t know whats the public opinion there. But in Chhattisgarh, there was no chance of bjp winning the elections. The public here is still loyal to congress and exCM Bhupesh Baghel still has a massive fan following. BJP wining here was really surprising and hard to digest. In same manner, what are banglore’s voter’s view on this? Was it surprising for ya’ll or were ya’ll expecting bjp to win?

CrazySimple7547

Also don't forget the Chandigarh voter ballot cctv issue.This party is going nuts that to by enjoying full majority for 2 terms,hindtuva card and scattered opposition.

Playful_Wealth3875

BJP ad agency will go full throttle, waiting for response and distaction deployments. 

SyzygySeven

I was thinking now, all these data ECI already has in their database. I mean Rahul Gandhi had to manually go through them and find these fraudulent identities. I mean this should be on Purpose right. 

If ECI wanted they can write a simple python script which can identify these data anomalies like in minutes. **House number = 0, Fathers name = dfhgf,** many people having same house address. Even an intern can make this script. Use LLM if required. ECI can do this so easily. All they need is a laptop.

 I think their is some far more sinister things going on here. Before every election they could have easily vet the people like this. Have centralized data for all the people. Wow this is just plain corruption. Also why is Rahul Gandhi doing the Medias Job, what happen to the investigative Journalism.

Real patriotic Indians question the ECI and government but andh bhakts as usual….

DeadIndianDemocracy

I hope our supreme court has some integrity left and takes this up. I hope people protest on the street

itchokes

I actually know someone who does this work in Delhi for BJP. But cant give any names as he's a friend plus I thought he was just drunk bragging, but this seems to be the exact modus operandi that he has mentioned and now Im kinda scared that I call this guy a friend.

mahendra3006

As a voter from mahadevapura , I was surprised with the 1 lac majority of the BJP

I think whining only on reddit is not enough for this one.

I'm firing up whatsapp too.

What about you guys?

original_doc_strange

Honest question, what can you and I do to make sure this is actually investigated? I wanna do something but the sheer corruption and how tedious it is to get anything done kinda strays me away.

I am expecting a major "breaking news/masterstroke" which is going to hog the limelight for next few days.

Any guesses on what those headlines could be?

My prediction- pahalgam attackers being killed (though body being so badly charred that no identification may be possible).  Anybody still talking about voter fraud will be anti national

tecash

yes I voted for Congress. Many familes around me voted for congress for the first time in many elections.

on results day PC Mohan was trailing till half the day, only after afternoon evms are being counted he starting gaining majority

kranthi933

When is the protest against this? Do you have any details?

empatheticsocialist1

We should definitely join the protests as it will put pressure on Central govt and going forward they wont try to pull out the same stunts. They may find another loop hole but it will still result in a more fair elections.
Apart from the protests which is basically organized by INC, I would really like if the media houses seriously pick this story and run their own investigation considering the data is publically available.
This will further make this claim, credible and I think it will help voters to know whom to not vote in the upcoming elections.
Anyways Karnataka now has INC govt and with the major E20 fuel scam, my next vote in LS elections won't be for current ruling parties.

yurnero07

So how does one conclude from this that all of them voted for BJP? Just wait a day or two and similar analysis will be out for constituencies where opposition parties have won.

strategos

I am sure same problem exists in all other assembly segments, not just mahadevapura. Just because congress won other assembly constituencies, does not make those constituencies clean. It is also not a problem of BJP or today, it was the same issue from the time of Nehru...this guy should stop talking about BJP being the sole reason for all problems...if he is really interested in moving country forward, stop blaming just BJP for everything. suggest and support ways to improve and follow them through...that is leadership..I am sure it can start with karnataka which is the king of corruption in India...show how you can transform Bangalore, then people will trust you to transform INDIA

sunil1979

I was only able to get a voter ID after having lived in Bangalore for 10 years. Not that I never tried before, but they ask for proofs and verifications which is very difficult for a person living in PGs and rented accommodation to get. But apparently it was very easy if i were a fake person

sau_dard

He is the who opposed Adhaar verification for voting. 
Thats a good thing, now he won't be able to oppose govt when they take right measure to stop the fraud.

Cold_Perception_6724

I grew up in mahadevpura area, and the kinda things the politicians do to get votes it’s crazy and I remember when I applied for my voters id card - instead of the official delivery it was distributed by a politician nearby saying your voter ID card is here come to my “Home” and collect it outside

Main-Astronomer-1188

Any-Spare3883

Ok let point out some thing which bleedingly obvious , Congress didnt not win all assembly segments under bangalore central except madhavepura as alleged by Rahul gandhi , I am surpised no one has even contradicated such simple thing .The madevapura lead for BJP was very important but they did win in rajijinagar, CV raman nagar and gandhi nagar as well . They obviously trailed in shivaji nagar, sarvanjanagar, shanti nagar , if rahul gandhi is sincere they if some one shows him data of voter manipulation is these assembly segemnts he should accept that as well , else it will be same tired thing that when people vote for congress they are secular else they are communal

I also was deeply worried after watching the whole Press conference and was pushed further in doubt when mainstream print and television media didn't give it any coverage.  

I would like to start a petition to make our elections more fair to the people. We shouldn't trust a political party to do right by us. We can only trust someone we vote for. And that needs to earned and never stolen. 

Please sign if you resonate with the same.

Definitely agree that the electronic records nd cctv footage must be shared digitally, this is a massive piece of evidence that is definitely not getting the attention it deserves and I hope we people can stay on topic till the truth comes out!

deepakpadamata

Assuming that whatever Rahul Gandhi is saying is true, what is stopping him from approaching the Supreme Court with all the facts? They have the best lawyers in Singhvi, Sibal, and Chidambaram. Let's for a moment assume that the EC is compromised and thus a puppet of the ruling party as Gandhi claims them to be but no one can buy the argument that the SC is compromised. If that was indeed the case, why would they strike down the electoral bonds scheme brought by the ruling party? Why would they strike down ED's stand in the MUDA case against Siddaramiah if they were working for the ruling party?

trailbound_wayfarer

I wish Rahul look at the infrastructure also in Mahadevapura. They have done no work

Additional-Run-2225

This is very well know fact that its very easy to get govt ids in india. In UP, bihar its very easy to get aadhar proof, state domicile, voter id, driving licence,etc. You through money andyou will get it.

I believe this is similar case and nothing new.
Its just no politician had guts to said it out loud.

Saying all this ,
I believe these voters id cards were generated for address proofs purposes for those who don't have any other valid proof.
Its very unlikely that BJP is involved in high level votes scam.

Perfect_Finish_6937

Everything is sham unless FIR is not filed. 

Goes for any political party.

rikilshah

When you lie so much, that once in a while even if you speak truth it is considered a lie. Story of all Indian politicians. It’s difficult to believe anything what comes out of their mouth. That’s why even though this looks serious but no one is interested. And yes, high possibility, it may be another political stunt to capture attention and create self image. It is what it is. 

Problem is that the politicians have lost credibility. They need to address this problem not the people.

Gloomy_Avocado3892

If this is true,  file a case against the EC in supreme court . They can open the doors of SC at midnight and then when show something which might actually be something worth following up on , you just do a presentation and leave it. Literally someone from the audience asked if he can say this under oath and he said something like my word is good enough.

Like bro , your word means shit to general.public after all the disastrous speeches you gave. Grow a spine and actually do something with this . Voter list fraud is a serious issue and if handled well , he can actually get some serious backing from the people who vote for BJP only because of no other proper alternative.

But my words also wont mean anything , because he is still just a joker born with a silver spoon being used as a pawn by people both within and outside india.

Views are personal.

YellowPitiful3524

I remember BJP organizing voter registration drive in some newly build up Apartments in Mahadevpura area. This helped BJP a lot as most of the voters in such apartments wants to vote for a nationalist candidate. Also, one of the factor was the candidate choice for Mahadevpura constituency by Congress. 

Congress government never focused on Mahadevpura Constituency nor they are doing it now. For congress it is a golden chance to win hearts of Mahadevpura constituency by doing infrastructure development and launching new metro projects in the area which is need of an hour. 

CM can come and inaugurate new flyovers, underpass , better roads etc. Just by solving T Pass, S Cross and inaugurating the better infrastructure would help Congress gain a lot of votes specially in state elections.

Also want to mention, Arvind Limbavali comes and visits Apartments (even though it might be just for photo op). I never saw or heard any Congress MLA or MP visiting any apartment in the area .

Lost_Hat_5642

You’re simping for RG by saying it’s Steve Jobbs like presentation. But good on him for doing what he needs to do as LoP.

Empty-Pumpkin7618

Ok let's say this is true. 
Then isn't SIR being done by EC, the solution?
Why oppose that and then go ahead and claim there is vote theft???

DefiantAnalysis9423

I might get downvoted but around  100k fake data is fine in a country of 140cr people. But this should be investigated.

Adorable_Barracuda64

But shouldn't Rahul file all the evidences under an Oath? Any reason for not doing that? I would like to understand the logic behind his decision.

BJP led in 4/8 ACs of Central - CV Raman nagar, Rajajinagar, gandhinagar and Mahadeva pura .


BJP has held Mahadevapura since the time it was created. 


INC led in the other 4 ACs.

Atleast do some basic research before making a fool of yourself

dickeyboy

You fudge someone from ECI and ask them to make entries in their SQL database.

No one is a saint. 

A probe must be ordered to find when the details were added.

shivasiddharth

His party  played the same trick in Kerala, more than bogus vote it's mistake when add and removed votes.
manual forms when entered is not done properly and when voter moves then they don't delete it.

Why I know this is , my vote had same problem, added to neighbour house , same issue with my brother..
then had to do rounds to get it fixed.

Let him submit it under oath first. Then call it a fraud.

Rahul Gandhi compared 2019 to 2024 but conveniently SKIPPED 2023.

— 2019: 5,24,713 voters
— 2023: 6,07,255
— 2024: 6,59,826

— 1.35 lakh more since 2019. But only ~51,571 since 2023.

— Another AGENDA BUSTED 🔥

This moral grandstanding in the name of "exposing corruption " is all well and good but 
I'd rather him go to court and present said 'irrefutable' evidence,where it actually matters

Making broad presentations with a 'lot of data' and fake showmanship can be done by both sides

What's the difference between him and those clowns in the bjp if he does the same as them

Soy-el-miedo

For all the enlightened brains , please do a fact check before publishing it on media … lot of media houses did a fact check about the data Rahul Gandhi provided and all of it is just propaganda . Fake and bogus accusation … can’t believe Rahul Gandhi has a PR team which lets him do this stuff ! What is it led by a bunch of high school students? The opposition party manages to amuse me everytime

I recently saw an argument that these fake voters were pumped &amp; registered by congress themselves... and ofc they couldn't vote... but helpful for public showoff...

thoughts guys...?

agusbsjd

Why Mahadevapura, specifically?
It’s important to understand that this area has a large floating population. Many people have moved to Bangalore for jobs and have been settled here for years, they’ve built their lives here. Expecting them to go back to their hometowns just to vote, or to remove themselves from the voter list there, is not practical.

I’m not defending any wrongdoing, but it’s unfair to single out one constituency and make a generalized statement. What we need is a proper enquiry to identify how many of these so-called “duplicate voters” have actually voted in both places. I’m quite sure that number will turn out to be significantly lower than assumed.

ExtensionMango8253

Weren't 45 lakh invalid voters removed from voters' list during SIR in Bihar last month? Didn't his party drag EC to the Supreme Court to put a stay on that?

Edit: Before people leg pull me, let me tell you something which I experienced myself. Once I was coming in rapido, my rider was a a guy from Jharkhand. He praised the Bhubaneswar MP a lot throughout the ride. I asked him if he was registered in Bhubaneswar. He said yes. He even claimed that he was part of BJP and will take part in the rally scheduled in the next hour. He voted in Jharkhand previously too. I enquired how was it possible. He said he changed his address after the polls, enabling him to vote else where.

The amount of harm the British empire caused in 89 years Modi and Shah have managed to do that in mere 11 years. Every reliable govt body is in their pocket today.

 Voting scam is so common right now that a guy went to jail for making a video of him voting bjp 8 times in up. A guy was made polling officer in Punjab and cancelled the votes which went to app. Got caught in cctv, case going in courts. 

The ec literally has today removed machine readable voterlist in Bihar elections on their website and uploaded PDFs with photos that cannot be machine red. Of you still support these crooks pakistan jane ki bari ab tumhari hai. Kuch to sharam karo. 

Many more such cases in this video, rahul gandhi has not shared even 50% of blatant known cases cause he is dumb -https://youtu.be/3WpvQLmINuI

There are hundreds of such cases explained in this video .

Mobile-Material-2502

The people at his rallies are mostly paid and have no idea what’s going on. They show up to Congress events for the money, then go home and vote for the BJP on election day. Congress also spends heavily on social media PR, so the real voter turnout is lower than the buzz they see on the ground.

Either he is really smart and knows how to trick the liberal crowd or he simply is a Pappu.

-ControlledChaos

If somebody is really intrested to study patterns of Indian voting ,they should go through the analysts who do ground work. What this politician is saying is just don't do proper ground work and pin blame on constitutional institutes. Honestly some Congress candidates with good ground work win elections but not majority do that. This type of dramebazi can't help if their leader won't address the ground level problems. I hope Cuttack Ppl can relate .

phung25dattaya

I love the fact that the ruling party and bhakts were caught off guard with this. The only thing they are countering with is asking him to give his claim under oath or just plainly calling him pappu. No valid counter arguments or denial.


I don't understand ECI. They are anyways giving information in print form. Why not give digital data? If the data is available and allowed to be given, then the form in which the data is given should be irrelevant. Also digital is cheaper than print. Which clearly means ECI has something to hide and is buying time by gatekeeping the digital data.

rob-ayema

They should focus on real ground work rather than wasting their time, money and resources on these cr@p. One just doesn't win simply by pulling others down - he has to show some results from his side.

The above campaign by Raga the C\*\*t\*ya is trying to essentially start questioning everything good in India, hoping that they can derail the good stuff happening!

He said he used to stick poster..
Seriously dude?

You used to have every luxury you can have..
Ur parent have private jet even before u born.
Second thing is you are talking about fake people?
What can one do if whole system is corrupt.
shabashad make fake niwas pirman patra and you can got election id from that place..
But its very hard one person can vote in two diff place or false vote..
I mean if you literally got proper education in school then you will surely understand why..

Indian_professor

Complete BS
- voter lists are shared with polling agents of all parties before elections (BJD, BJP, Congress, etc)
- the polling agents have the right to raise issues if they find bogus voters (yes, agents from all parties can raise formal complaints)
- also, in a polling booth agents of all parties verify a candidate before he/she can vote
- so if the polling agents from Congress did not find any issues then, what’s the fuss about now ??
- regarding incorrect data (names, addresses, ‘house no 0’ thing), it’s a very common thing in older voting cards when digitization wasn’t present. 
- Many people have corrected such inaccuracies now. Also, new cards have less such errors

Rahul Gandhi has made serious allegations regarding electoral fraud in the Mahadevapura assembly segment during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, claiming over 100,000 fake votes were created to benefit the BJP. These claims include accusations of duplicate voting and misuse of voter registrations.
