INDIA Bloc Rallies against Alleged 'Vote Chori' in Bihar

INDIA leaders, led by Rahul Gandhi, protest in Bihar against alleged electoral roll manipulations, calling it 'silent invisible rigging.' Despite Election Commission clarifications, the opposition continues their campaign, accusing BJP of 'vote theft.' The standoff leads to tension in parliamentary proceedings.

Amid rising political tensions, the leaders of the Indian National Development Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) have intensified their protests at Parliament premises. Accusations of electoral manipulation in Bihar have fueled these protests, despite clarifications from the Election Commission seeking sworn evidence from Rahul Gandhi on his claims of election rigging.

Several Members of Parliament, such as Mallikarjun Kharge, Akhilesh Yadav, and Abhishek Banerjee, have joined forces to challenge the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of Bihar's electoral rolls. Their collective voice targets both the ruling BJP and the Election Commission, accusing them of orchestrating a campaign of 'vote chori.' These demonstrations have kept Parliament in continual disruption since July 21.

Labeling the process as 'Silent Invisible Rigging,' opposition leaders have urged the cessation of 'vote chori.' Concurrently, Union Minister Kiren Rijiju admonished Congress and its allies to cease causing disruptions over Election Commission matters, suggesting that such disputes be resolved through direct dialogue with the commission rather than inside Parliament.

Amid the unrest, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi persists with his 'Voter Adhikar Rally' in Bihar, recently arriving in Aurangabad to continue his campaign advocating for voter rights. His social media proclamations highlight the rally's objective to safeguard the democratic principle of 'one person, one vote.' The rally covers extensive ground in Bihar, reinforcing opposition voices against alleged voting anomalies.
