**Summary:**

The Tamil Nadu Youth Congress organized an event in Chennai to elaborate on Rahul Gandhi’s allegations of “Vote Chori” (vote theft) against the Election Commission of India (ECI). Arun Bhasker, a senior vice president, demonstrated how deletion forms could be fraudulently filled. He claimed the ECI website had a security vulnerability (Form 8) allowing unauthorized changes to voter information without Aadhar-linked OTP verification until recently. He alleges the ECI quietly implemented changes to Form 8 due to Gandhi’s “Vote-Chori Campaign.”

**Tamil Nadu Youth Congress Echoes “Vote Chori” Claims, Alleges ECI Security Flaw**

*Chennai, September 24, 2025* – The Tamil Nadu Youth Congress held an “explainer” event in Chennai on Wednesday, amplifying Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s recent allegations of “Vote Chori” (vote theft) and accusing the Election Commission of India (ECI) of undermining democracy.

Arun Bhasker, Senior Vice President of the Tamil Nadu Youth Congress, led the event, providing a demonstration of alleged vulnerabilities within the ECI’s online systems. Bhasker specifically targeted the ECI website’s handling of Form 8, used for voter information updates.

“The ECI website has a major hole,” Bhasker asserted, claiming that until September 22nd, it was possible to change a voter’s registered phone number through Form 8 without requiring Aadhar-linked OTP (One-Time Password) verification. He further alleged that the ECI quietly implemented changes to Form 8, adding “E-sign and Submit,” without a formal announcement, due to fear of Mr Gandhi’s Vote-Chori campaign.

Bhasker challenged the ECI to address Gandhi’s claims of software being used to rapidly fill out voter deletion forms. “They should have asked, ‘Can you prove that there were fake logins?’ But they didn’t ask that because they are scared if he would show that as well.”

The ECI has yet to respond to the Youth Congress’s specific allegations. The claims come amid ongoing debates about the security and integrity of India’s electoral processes.
