Public sentiment is largely negative towards both the Election Commission of India (ECI) and opposition figures like Rahul Gandhi. There is a pervasive skepticism about electoral integrity, with many citizens expressing frustration over perceived biases and incompetence within the ECI, alongside a belief that allegations from the opposition are politically motivated distractions. Calls for accountability and transparency are prevalent, reflecting a deep mistrust in the electoral process.

The law being cited is only applicable for 30 days after the rolls have been released...so its only an excuse or a reason to get Raga in trouble

The ECI has the duty to maintain fair elections, so they dont need an affadevit to do the job

When Anurag Thakur also made Allegations in Ragas seat of varanasi...there was no affadevit demanded from him...why? The ECI has the concept of gradient response which only seems to serve themselves

Full-Wealth-5962

Because it's a bullying technique and also useless. Election commission didn't asked affidavit from Anurag Thakur who also said that Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi also did vote chori ( what a bad move from bjp lol)

Federal_Initial4401

Nowhere in the law is it stated that he has to file a sworn affidavit.

ranbirkadalla

idk abt rahul but that yadav guy from UP filed an affidavit iirc

halicadsco

If RaGa were to sign an affidavit with legal liability and then later if the case is defeated in Court thru any means even including manipulation/obstruction of evidence then he would be legally liable as it would be a really good way to have him face the courts for it and possibly prison(Hard to pass opportunity for ruling government)

Nervous_Reveal2222

There could have be several reasons why the opposition hasn’t formally pursued this yet. Filing a sworn affidavit or legal challenge requires solid evidence, and without it, the case might not hold in court and could backfire politically. 

Often, allegations like these are first used to raise public awareness or put pressure on authorities, but formal due process only follows when there’s enough documented proof.

Thanos from Malegaon can snap his fingers and make half of the voter list disappear and another half appear, here is his Voter ID

Dizzy-Pipe4600

There is no need of any sworn in Affidavit. It is black and white in the public domain. Theif ECI has to resign and allow independent investigation on voters fraud. Can ECI sworn in and say no dead is in the electrol roll and no living voter left in the electrol roll ? Can ECI sworn in and say there is no double voting ? Why ECI is afraid of releasing the video of the voting ? Why percentage of voting keeps changing until the day of counting ?

Dry_Philosopher_4817

SaGE_4577

There really is no due process. The due process of the signed affidavit can be given only within 30 days of the publishing of the electoral rolls. Which they were unable to do since the ECI doesn't give data in machine readable formats. 


The due process was that the ECI suo moto starts an investigation into this, and come clean. That they refuse to do.

NearbyAbrocoma659

Why is ECI not sharing CCTV footage? And instead giving excuses like woman use polling booth like changing room.

ILoveSpaceSoMuch

Institutions have to some degree  lost their sanctity and thus he is focused more on engaging with the public directly. If u go to court, then matter becomes subjudice and is burried till it dies plus U can't expect eci to find itself at fault.

MysteriousTourist729

RaGa shared sufficient proofs in public to expose ECI. Now either ECI should investigate this or should give an affidavit that there is no flaw in voter data.

Ambitious-Upstairs90

As LOP, he is under no obligation to file an affidavit, please listen to what senior Supreme Court advocate Kapil Sibal has said on this. Instead of dismissing Rahul Gandhi’s vote chori claims as ‘misleading’ via an X post, the ECI should counter them point by point. Making flippant remarks in press conferences like “mataon behno ka video saajha karna chahiye kya?” only weakens their credibility. Even India TV found discrepancies, visiting houses where voters listed on the rolls did not actually reside….

Mental_Bench_

The ECI is not a Court and cannot act like a Court in entertaining petitions/complaints as The Representation of the People Act, 1951 does not give them the power of a Court. 
 
ECI is an administrative body with responsibility for holding free and fair elections

Besides, Rule 20(3)(b) will apply only to the case of a specific decision made by the ERO accepting or rejecting a 'claim' to be included in the electoral rolls. 

The Rule has no application in the case of alleged massive manipulation in the electoral roll of an entire Assembly constituency.


Going to High Court Or Supreme Court will make matter Subjudice and like in the Rafael Case no one can make any opinions on the matter.

Sudden-Check-9634

It doesn’t matter at all whether he filed an affidavit or not. He presented some easily verifiable data. EC should have just come clear, debugging 3 or 4 such data. They chose to behave like the mouth piece of one party. Secondly, there’s always going to be certain degree of errors in the data he has even if the bigger picture remains true. This error can be used against him. The moment he files and affidavit, the EC will find some error and can start
criminal proceedings. It’s a trap.

This is my take - there are just too many signals over the last few years that the elections are not fair. For example, how EC acts on code of conduct differently for different parties. One just need to keep an open mind to see that the system is broken.

No_Control_9658

What due process? ECI could simply gone point to point, debunking. But they didn't say a word on merit. India Today visit many of the places/addresses and turned out allegations are indeed true.

ThinkingIndian

Leader of opposition just gives allegation, most of them just rhetoric

West_Firefighter6760

The last part of your question is the gospel truth.

Much-Branch1839

Akhilesh Yadav did follow the due process so ECI can follow up on that.
Unless that's just an excuse.

baba__yaga_

Shouldn’t the eci release the cctv footage?

Designer-Winter6564

All of them are chor. They all do same thing. Everyone of them knows that. They are just blaming each other on different level so they can create something against their opposition in brain of their audience/public. That's it. All party's are same. They just pull things which can hurt their opposition more in the eyes of general public. But the main core issue is vote chori which is happening means general public on all level getting decieved. No matter which party you support.

PrincipleWeary2225

It's nothing new ,they had done this drama before with EVM HACKING ,when election commission asked them to prove it that EVM can be hacked they all were silent!!
THE EMPTY VESSEL MAKES THE MOST NOISE!!

ansh26111030

But if we believe vote chori is happening means then evm hack is false claim

NoStranger6977

Guys my reasoning is that if the opposition really had solid proof and the bjp really did cheat they would have gone to crazy heights to prove it because it could basically tarnish bjp image for atleast a decade and rahul gandhi can become pm but I don't see any opposition leader seriously take this matter I mean like even in that protests they did of MPs I saw akhilash yadav laughing and even his wife was not too serious about it as if they were there's solely because they are a part of opposition.

And for my personal opinion has a citizen I feel it has happened but nothing new like it has been happening in past prest and even in future and not just us but across the world in all countries,I mean even trump said he lost the last election because of voter scam,,,,,,and the main reasons for me to not take rahul gandhi seriously is if what he is pointing out that 1 lakh fake voters voted it would take the manipulation and support of thousands of BLO and I have not come across even a single slip up from any BLO that yeah they were bribed or they did it or anything I mean no matter what in thousands at the very least 1 people should have felt fear when rahul ghandi exposed them and would have come out to say sorry or they they were forced or something else but I have not come across anything like that

Cautious_Duty_6257

As much I know BJP already hacked EVM and their manipulating votes in EVMs. There is no need for them to do votechori.

devilismypet

RaGa should have filed a case in the Supreme court rather creating such drama. But as he didn't went that means he also is in doubt with his data.

Fallen_Knight7

Biggest issue is that the dataset chooses by them is not correct. 

This is said by the person who provided data to Congress on a live TV interview. 

Pls dont ask for clips I dont remember the person.

Why are liberals in a leftist sub? You think you are the left? You are not us. We are all for this kind of revolution.

Obviously, that's the point of a "revolution". But the Liberals in this sub won't ever read theory.

Rahul Gandhi will do anything but admit that he’s unfit to lead Congress. Put Tharoor in charge and watch the elections swing.

TorontoGiraffe

Who even takes Rahul Gandhi seriously he is Indias trump single handedly sabotaging ,  he is a joke in Indian politics

Feeling_Celery_2884

Fraud claiming a fraud. 

Rahul Gandhis last name itself is a fraud. His family starting with Indira Nehru  changed last name to Gandhi after marrying Feroze Ghandy/Khan to Gandhi to ride wave of Mahatma Gandhi for generations.

75 years since Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi died this fraud  family is still mooching off India using his last name.

Others may have forgotten this chart quickly - but not Modi. The lowest ever victory margin for a sitting PM in the history of India. (even after a massive 33 nominations were cancelled by the Election Commission) Wonder what would have happened without all the extra help.

Our idiots are all talking about stray dogs. 

Real dogs killing us are the RSS, VHp, Blowjob dal and BJP monkey army. Vanar sena.

insanebabydoll

It's possible he lost the election.

Conspiracy theory: When the votes were being counted, sri sri adarniya's face was a sight to behold. One could tell that he was panicking. He either lost from his seat, or BJP wasn't going to win if ECI hadn't done some backdoor stuff to make BJP win. He knew that. That or he had some plastic surgery done on his face and was recovering from that.

Timely_Street_3075

Everybody know this is coming because what else they can do to buy some time to cover their filth? Let's hope Rahul Gandhi to give a comeback from this.

That leftist islamist nexus media of the west did the same propaganda in ukraine, syria, where not. And we know destruction follows if we buy that propaganda 

Out of crores of voters, there will be some less than 1% clerical errors. This is cherry picking logical fallacy. Also some of Rahul's claims are outright lies. Press conference is fine, but he should submit proofs to ECI or to courts.

In fact now in Bihar election commission is doing verification of voter list, but his party and other leftist parties are opposing it because they want bangladeshis and rohingyas to vote in elections

Allegations of 'vote theft' against Prime Minister Modi during the 2024 elections have led to a Special Investigation Team being formed to investigate voter fraud claims.
