NEW DELHI: Congress on Sunday mounted a major show of strength at Delhi’s Ramlila Ground, accusing the Modi government of “vote chori” and vowing to unseat the Modi–RSS regime.
Addressing the party’s ‘Vote Chor Gaddi Chhod’ rally, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi accused the Election Commission of bias. Naming Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi, he said that they were aligned with the BJP.
Alleging that the the Election Commission is working with the BJP, Gandhi said that PM Modi has “amended the law for them”. He said that the Election Commissioner can take any action, but no action can be taken against them. “Don’t forget that you are the EC of India, not Modi’s EC. We will change this law and take action against you. We are fighting for the truth and will remove the Narendra Modi-RSS government from power. They have power, and they indulge in ‘vote theft’”, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha added.
He alleged that there is untruth and “vote chori” in the DNA of the BJP-RSS followers. “You should not fear; in the end, we will remove Modi, Amit Shah and the RSS government from power by following the path of truth,” he said.
Rahul Gandhi was accompanied by Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge and Congress Parliamentary Party chairperson Sonia Gandhi. The party has collected around six crore signatures against alleged vote theft from across the country and will be presenting the same to the President of India.
Referring to the recent speech of RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Gandhi said that “Mohan Bhagwat says the world does not see truth but power, and whoever has power is regarded. Our ideology, our country’s ideology, our Hindu religion and other religions say that truth is most important, but Mohan Bhagwat says truth has no significance; only power is important.”
Meanwhile, Kharge said, “The BJP people are traitors and indulge in theatrics. They need to be removed from power.”
