**Headline:** Rahul Gandhi Highlights Voter Fraud in Bihar, Calls for Action Against Election Commission
In a recent online video, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi engaged with individuals he referred to as “dead voters,” raising serious concerns about voter registration inaccuracies in Bihar. The video, shared on social media, features Gandhi interacting with people who claim they are still alive but are erroneously marked as deceased on the Election Commission’s voter lists.
Gandhi expressed his astonishment at the situation, stating, “I have had many interesting experiences in life, but never got the chance to have tea with ‘dead people’. Thank you, Election Commission, for this unique experience!” The video captures Gandhi questioning the individuals about how they discovered their status as deceased voters, with one participant revealing they found out through the official voter list.
During the interaction, Gandhi inquired about the prevalence of such cases, to which one individual responded that at least 50 similar instances exist within a single panchayat. The group alleged that in the constituency of RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, numerous living voters were incorrectly listed as dead. They claimed to possess written evidence of these discrepancies and mentioned that some had even stood for hours in the Supreme Court to defend their voting rights.
The participants criticized the Election Commission for failing to address these issues, with some traveling from distant locations to bring attention to the matter. They urged political leaders to unite in order to “save Bihar” from these irregularities. This video release coincides with ongoing criticism from the Opposition, particularly Rahul Gandhi, regarding alleged voter fraud linked to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process in Bihar.
On August 7, Gandhi accused the Election Commission of adding fictitious names to the voter rolls, attempting to substantiate his claims with examples from Karnataka’s electoral lists. He specifically pointed to significant voter discrepancies in the Mahadevapura assembly segment of the Bangalore Central Lok Sabha seat, a claim that the Election Commission has categorically denied.
The Election Commission has consistently rejected allegations from Gandhi and other Opposition leaders, labeling them as misleading. As the political landscape in Bihar continues to evolve, the implications of these allegations could have significant repercussions for the upcoming elections.
