Rahul Gandhi Questions Voter List Discussions amid Opposition Allegations

Congress MP Rahul Gandhi has expressed doubts about discussions in Parliament over the voter's list issue. Several opposition MPs have raised concerns about alleged voter list irregularities in multiple states, prompting calls for a comprehensive revision and a response from the Election Commission of India.

In a recent Lok Sabha address, Rahul Gandhi, Congress MP and Leader of Opposition, voiced skepticism about the likelihood of a thorough discussion in the Parliament concerning alleged discrepancies in the voter's list. His comments highlight existing tensions over electoral integrity.

Gandhi pinpointed these electoral issues by referencing specific instances in states like Maharashtra, where doubts were raised about the accuracy and legitimacy of voter lists. The opposition is uniting in their call for a comprehensive debate on this matter, underscoring its nationwide impact.

Amidst escalating concerns, TMC's Saugata Roy highlighted the recurrence of identical voter EPIC numbers across various states, including Haryana and West Bengal, hinting at systemic errors. This was echoed by AAP's Sanjay Singh, who accused the central government of manipulating voter lists, potentially skewing election results. Despite these allegations, the Election Commission has since clarified the situation, asserting that identical EPIC numbers do not automatically suggest fraudulent voters.
