Congress to intensify campaign against ‘vote theft’: AICC spokesperson

Congress intensifies campaign against alleged 'vote theft', vows to hold Delhi Chalo rally on November 1: AICC spokesperson Deepthi Mary Varghese stated this at a press conference in Shivamogga on Monday. Present at the conference were School Education Minister Madhu Bangarappa and DCC president H.C. Yogesh. According to the AICC spokesperson, the party has been demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and plans to intensify its 'Vote Bachao, Desh Bachao' campaign to combat alleged vote fraud under his leadership.

Varghese alleged that the Election Commission is acting on instructions from the Prime Minister and Home Minister, and that the CEC disregarded the concerns of his two colleagues regarding Form 6, which deals with fresh enrolment in the voters' list. The Congress aims to protect the right to vote, an issue of concern to every citizen, she emphasized, adding that the campaign should not be perceived as a mere party agenda.

Congress intends to extend this campaign to district and block levels, with meetings scheduled at district and block centers in the coming days, the spokesperson concluded.
