CONTINUING HIS offensive against the Election Commission, Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi on Monday said action will be taken against the Chief Election Commissioner and the two Election Commissioners for “vote chori” when INDIA bloc forms government.
Addressing a gathering during his Voter Adhikar Yatra in Bihar, Gandhi said the Election Commission was asking him to file an affidavit even after its “vote theft” had been caught.
“I want to tell the EC that the whole country will ask you to give an affidavit. Give us some time, we will catch your theft in every Assembly and Lok Sabha seat, and put it before the people,” he said.
“Like Prime Minister Narendra Modi-ji talks of a special package, the EC has brought a special package for Bihar named SIR, which means a new form of vote theft,” Gandhi said on the second day of the Yatra. Bihar Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav is accompanying Gandhi.
“The people of Bihar will tell the election commissioners and BJP leaders in one voice that ‘vote chori’ cannot be done in the state,” the Congress MP said.
“Whatever I say, I do it. You have seen that I don’t lie from the stage… These three election commissioners… I want to tell them that it is Modi-ji’s government right now… Tejashwi-ji said that you (Election Commissioners) have taken BJP membership and are working for them.”
“But understand one thing, a day will come when there will be an INDIA bloc government in Bihar and in Delhi; then we will take action against the three of you… You’ve stolen (vote) from the whole country,” Gandhi said.
The remarks come a day after CEC Gyanesh Kumar gave seven days to Gandhi to submit a signed affidavit to back his claims alleging nationwide vote theft.
