Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah launched a scathing critique against the ruling BJP, accusing the party of 'vote chori'—an alleged electoral misconduct aimed at undermining democracy. He stressed that the manipulation of institutions and election systems represents a quiet yet insidious form of fascism threatening India.

Speaking at a Congress rally in Delhi, Siddaramaiah cited the filing of a charge sheet against a former BJP MLA and others for voter list tampering in Karnataka's Aland constituency.
