"Rahul Gandhi proved that he is a joker": Telangana BJP chief on Congress leader's fresh 'vote-chori' charge

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], September 18 (ANI): Telangana BJP President N Ramchander Rao on Thursday slammed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over his fresh allegations of vote theft, and called his press conference a “big joke”.

Speaking to ANI, N Ramchander Rao said, “Rahul Gandhi’s press conference on vote theft is a big joke. He proved that he is a joker. What is so great about what he said? This is nothing. His allegations are false and childish, with no basis in truth. They are mainly based on some kids playing with software, deleting and adding names randomly.”

Earlier in the day, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday slammed the Election Commission of India for allegedly “not cooperating” with the voter fraud investigation opened up by the Karnataka Crime Investigation Department (Karnataka CID) in the Aland assembly segment in the Kalaburagi district.

The leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha has claimed that the investigation into the alleged fraud has been stalled for over 2 years as the poll body is not replying to the letters sent by the CID, calling it “proof” that Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar is “protecting vote chors (vote thieves).

Meanwhile, the Election Commission of India dismissed all allegations made by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi regarding “vote chori”.

“Allegations made by Rahul Gandhi are incorrect and baseless. No deletion of any vote can be done online by any member of the public, as misconceived by Rahul Gandhi. No deletion can take place without giving an opportunity to be heard to the affected person,” the ECI said in a statement.

The ECI has denied allegations made by Rahul Gandhi, stating they are “baseless and incorrect”. (ANI)
