Rahul Gandhi Claims President Murmu Did Not Deny 'Vote Chori' Allegations, INDIA Bloc Demands CEC Gyanesh Kumar's Arrest

Rahul Gandhi, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, expressed shock at President Droupadi Murmu's acceptance of allegations of vote chori (vote rigging) rather than denying them during a meeting regarding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Gandhi and a ten-member opposition delegation met Murmu to brief her on the protest against alleged irregularities in the SIR.

They presented a memorandum accusing Prime Minister Amit Shah and CEC Gyanesh Kumar of conspiring to destroy Indian democracy. Murmu, according to Gandhi, accepted the statement without denial, questioning or argument. She then requested evidence of election chori (vote theft) and the INDIA bloc insisted on presenting the evidence they had collected.

The delegation demanded Kumar's immediate resignation, arrest and prosecution, repeal of parliamentary immunity, scrapping EVMs, and restoration of deleted names from electoral rolls. After the meeting, Gandhi told reporters that he expected the President to deny the allegations and affirm India's free and fair electoral system.
