BJP turning EC into tool for vote chori: Rahul Gandhi
Dec-10-2025

A day after accusing the Election Commission (EC) of ‘colluding’ with the ruling party to ‘destroy Indian democracy’ in his Lok Sabha speech, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi alleged that the BJP is turning the Election Commission into a ‘tool’ for ‘vote chori’.

Gandhi said, ‘India's public is asking these 3 very important and direct questions: 1. Why was the CJI removed from the EC selection panel. 2. Why was almost complete legal immunity given to the EC before the 2024 elections. 3. Why the hurry to destroy CCTV footage within 45 days. He alleged that the only answer is that the Election Commission is being used as a tool for vote theft.

Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, on Tuesday alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was destroying the ‘Idea of India’ by committing ‘vote theft.’ Referring to the 2023 Election Act during a discussion on electoral reforms in the Lok Sabha, Gandhi warned that if a Congress government were to be formed, the Act would be amended retroactively, and the Election Commissioners would be held accountable.

Making suggestions, Gandhi called for providing machine readable voter list to all parties one month before elections, taking back the law that allows destruction of CCTV footage after 45 days, giving access to EVMs, and changing the law that allows election commissioners ‘to get away with whatever they want to do’.
