In a blistering attack on the Election Commission and the ruling BJP, Leader of Opposition and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi has alleged large-scale voter fraud in the country, terming it a “crime against the Indian Constitution.” Speaking to the press in Delhi, Gandhi presented what he called “crystal clear, undoubtable proof” of duplicate voters, fake addresses, and systematic manipulation in the electoral process.
Gandhi highlighted a specific case involving a voter named Gurkirat Singh Dang. "Here is a duplicate voter. There are 11,965 voters of this type. Gurkirat Singh Dang appears once, twice, three times, four times — in four different polling booths in the constituency. The same name, the same address, the same person for different polling booths. And this is not just one person; this is thousands of people in one assembly," he said.
He further revealed startling irregularities in the voter list based on fabricated addresses. "Coming to fake addresses... They are mostly of three types: either an address that doesn't exist, or an address that is 0 — house number 0, street number 0 — or addresses that simply cannot be verified. These make up 40,000 voters," Gandhi stated.
The Congress leader cited Booth No. 366 as an example. "It lists 46 voters, supposedly all from different families, living in a single-bedroom house. But when we go there, they don’t exist. There’s no sign of these people. It’s a fake entry,” he added.

Gandhi went on to say that the issue goes far beyond isolated cases and could have altered national election outcomes. "Let’s not forget that the Prime Minister holds power with a very slender majority — just 25 seats. What we are saying to the Election Commission is that you're not in the business of destroying Indian democracy. You're in the business of protecting it."
He accused the Election Commission of not only failing to act but of actively participating in a nationwide cover-up. “This is a crime being committed against the Indian Constitution and the Indian flag. We are absolutely convinced that this crime is being done at a huge scale across the country — state after state after state.”
Raising serious concerns over transparency, Gandhi said his party had requested access to voter lists and CCTV footage — crucial evidence, in his words — but the Election Commission instead moved to destroy it. “The CCTV footage and voter list are now evidence in a crime. And the Election Commission is busy trying to destroy it.”
Calling the situation a “huge criminal fraud,” Gandhi concluded by warning the nation: “This is not just electoral malpractice. It is a well-orchestrated conspiracy to subvert democracy in India. And we are putting the evidence before the country.”
