Rahul Gandhi Links Youth Unemployment to BJP’s Alleged “Vote Theft,” Promises to Reveal Proof Soon

Rahul Gandhi

Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday claimed that youth unemployment in the country is a direct result of “vote chori” (vote theft) done by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), alleging that the Centre has not looked after the interests of the people and has instead stayed in power by capturing institutions.

“The biggest problem for youth in India is unemployment – and it is directly linked to vote theft. When any government comes to power by winning the trust of the people, its first duty is to provide employment and opportunities to the youth. But the BJP does not win elections honestly – they stay in power by stealing votes and holding institutions captive,” the Congress leader posted on X.

Due to BJP’s capture of institutions, the country is seeing a decline in jobs, a collapse of recruitment processes, pushing the future of young people in darkness, the Congress leader added.

“The youth of the country works hard, dreams, and struggles for their future. But Mr. Modi is only busy with his PR, getting celebrities to sing his praises, and the profits of billionaires. Breaking the hopes of the youth and making them desperate has become the hallmark of this government,” Gandhi’s post read.

He, however mentioned that the “tide is changing” as the youth of the country will “neither tolerate the looting of jobs nor the theft of votes.”

“Now the situation is changing. The youth of India has realized that the real fight is not just for jobs, but against vote theft. Because as long as elections continue to be stolen, unemployment and corruption will also keep increasing. Now the youth will neither tolerate the looting of jobs nor the theft of votes. Freeing India from unemployment and vote theft is now the greatest patriotism,” he said.

The former Congress President has been repeatedly alleging large scale systematic electoral fraud, claiming that votes of Opposition parties have been specifically targeted. He has said that soon he will release a “hydrogen bomb” of evidence which will unequivocally prove that PM Modi indulged in alleged vote theft.

“We are going to reveal a Hydrogen bomb that is going to devastate completely the reality of the situation. We have open and shut proof on what we are saying. I am not saying anything without proof, we have 100 per cent of a number of things that have happened that are going to come out,” Rahul Gandhi said in Wayanad on September 20.

During his previous press conferences he had alleged large scale fraudulent addition and deletion of voters.

The Congress leader had said, “We have shown it in Mahadevpura, we have shown in Aland. We are going to show it in such a way that there will no one in India who will doubt Narendra Modi ji has done vote chori and won the election.” (ANI)

Rahul Gandhi Repeats ‘Vote Theft’ Allegation, Vows Punishment for Culprits, Faces EC Demand for Sworn Evidence

Vote Theft

Doubling down on his ‘vote theft’ claim, Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Friday said that times would change and punishment would surely be meted out to those who were involved in the “scam”.

“Vote theft is not just an electoral scam, it is a major betrayal committed against the Constitution and democracy. Let the nation’s culprits hear this – times will change, punishment will surely be meted out,” Rahul Gandhi said in a post on X.

On Thursday, Rahul Gandhi said 1,00,250 “fake votes” were created in the Mahadevapura Assembly segment in the Bangalore Central Lok Sabha constituency in Karnataka to ensure a win for the BJP.

Taking the reporters through a detailed presentation of the ‘fraud’ at the Congress headquarters in Delhi, the LoP alleged that “collusion” had happened between the Election Commission of India and the BJP, which resulted in Prime Minister Narendra Modi securing his third term.

“Narendra Modi became Prime Minister with just a margin of 25 seats…Election Commission is helping BJP destroy the electoral system in India…The Election Commission is not giving us the data because of what we did in Mahadevpur (Karnataka Assembly constituency); if we do it in other Lok Sabha seats, then the truth about our democracy will come out. This is the evidence, criminal evidence (pointing to the physical voter list),” Rahul Gandhi said.

The Congress leader further alleged that the poll body is “destroying evidence” through the directive on only preserving CCTV and webcasting footage of the election process for only 45 days after the whole process is completed, unless the election result is challenged in court.

Taking cognisance of Gandhi’s allegations of voter roll manipulations in a Karnataka Assembly segment, the State Chief Electoral Officer asked him to submit his evidence under oath.

Regarding his allegations of “voter fraud” in the 2024 Maharashtra Assembly elections, the state’s Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) has also asked the Leader of Opposition to submit a sworn affidavit and provide specific evidence of alleged inclusion or deletion of electors from the voter rolls.

Union Minister Pralhad Joshi on Thursday hit out at Rahul Gandhi over his allegations targeting the Election Commission, questioning why the Congress had not objected through “legal means” and accusing the party of selectively blaming the poll body depending on electoral outcomes.

“There is no need to take him seriously. Why did the Congress party not file any objection? Why did he not file any election petition?” Joshi told ANI, while responding to Rahul Gandhi’s allegations of “voter fraud”. (ANI)
