Gandhi Alleges Widespread Vote Theft, Accuses BJP and EC of Collusion
Pachmarhi, Madhya Pradesh – November 9, 2025 – Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi today launched a scathing attack against the ruling BJP and the Election Commission (EC), accusing them of orchestrating widespread vote theft through the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Speaking to reporters at a Madhya Pradesh Congress training camp in Pachmarhi, Gandhi claimed the SIR is not aimed at improving the electoral process, but rather at “covering up and institutionalizing” vote theft.
Gandhi specifically alleged that vote theft occurred in Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Chhattisgarh, echoing his previous claims regarding Haryana. “After looking at the data, I believe that the same thing happened in MP, Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh. And this is the system of the BJP and EC,” he stated. He further claimed his party has “more evidence” that they will reveal gradually.
The Congress MP went on to accuse Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh of directly attacking democracy and the Constitution. “Modi ji, Amit Shah ji and Gyanesh ji are doing this directly by forming a joint partnership,” Gandhi asserted. “And because of this, the country is suffering a lot. Bharat Mata is being harmed.”
The Election Commission’s SIR commenced on November 4th in nine states and three Union Territories.
Gandhi’s accusations come amidst heightened political tensions and growing scrutiny of the electoral process. He stated that the Congress party had received positive feedback from the training camp for Congress district presidents in Madhya Pradesh. The BJP has yet to respond to Gandhi’s specific allegations.
