**Congress Leader Accuses BJP of Plotting Vote Theft Through ECI, Cites Rahul Gandhi’s Efforts**

**TIRUNELVELI, September 6, 2025** – Tamil Nadu Congress Committee (TNCC) President K. Selvaperunthagai launched a scathing attack on the BJP, accusing the party and its ideological mentor, the RSS, of orchestrating a plan to disenfranchise voters through the Election Commission of India (ECI). He claimed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s recent “yatra” in Bihar has unveiled “clinching evidence” of this alleged “sinister design.”

Speaking to reporters after inspecting preparations for a state-level “vote chori” (vote theft) conference scheduled for Sunday in Palayamkottai, Selvaperunthagai asserted that the BJP government, after inflicting economic hardship through demonetization and the Goods and Services Tax (GST), is now attempting to steal citizens’ voting rights with the assistance of the ECI.

The conference, according to Selvaperunthagai, aims to educate the public about the purported BJP-ECI strategy and empower them to safeguard their voting rights and citizenship.

He also dismissed the BJP-AIADMK alliance as a “sinking ship” and “unnatural alliance,” predicting further instability in Tamil Nadu politics. He suggested that other parties are wary of aligning with the BJP, fearing a similar fate of fragmentation and division.

Responding to allegations from former BJP State chief K. Annamalai that the Congress party is merely echoing the DMK’s positions, Selvaperunthagai defended his party’s record, highlighting instances where they have opposed unpopular DMK policies, such as increases in property tax, road tax, and electricity tariffs, and extended support to various protesting groups. He also pointed out that Congress had strongly advocated for lower GST rates from the start, in contrast to the high rates initially imposed by the BJP.

MP C. Robert Bruce, Nanguneri MLA and TNCC treasurer ‘Ruby’ R. Manoharan and former Union Minister R. Dhaushkodi Athithan were present.
