The issue of 'vote theft' is currently heating up in the country. The opposition is continuously raising questions against the ruling BJP regarding this serious allegation. Now, along with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has also openly come forward on this issue.
New Delhi: The 'vote theft' issue in the country is now taking on a political uproar. Opposition parties are continuously accusing the ruling BJP of vote theft and irregularities in the election process. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has also raised serious questions on this matter. Now, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has also openly entered this controversy, claiming to expose vote theft in Delhi and the alleged suspicious role of the Election Commission.
Saurabh Bhardwaj's Big Claim
AAP's Delhi convenor Saurabh Bhardwaj announced on social media platform X that he would make a major revelation related to vote theft today at 1 PM. Bhardwaj wrote that today's revelation would prove three main points: vote theft was being systematically carried out in Delhi. The role of then-Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar in the entire episode is suspicious.
The role of today's Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar Gupta is also suspicious. Saurabh Bhardwaj's claim has become a topic of discussion in political circles. According to him, this revelation will not be limited to Delhi alone but will raise serious questions nationally about the transparency of the electoral process and the protection of democracy.
AAP Backs Rahul Gandhi's Allegations
On September 18, the previous day, Bhardwaj supported Rahul Gandhi's allegations. In a statement to ANI, he said that the issue raised by Rahul Gandhi is extremely serious, and the Election Commission and the central government should be held accountable for it. The AAP leader stated that this issue is not merely political rhetoric but is connected to the democratic process and the protection of public rights. He argued that if there are irregularities in the voting system, the fundamental principles of democracy could be jeopardized.
Bhardwaj claimed that applications were submitted to remove 6,000 votes from a constituency in Karnataka. Furthermore, he recalled that in January 2025, Arvind Kejriwal had raised the issue that applications were made to remove 6,000 votes and add 10,500 new votes within 15 days in Delhi's New Delhi Assembly constituency.
Stir in Political Circles
The AAP leader also questioned Congress, asking why it remained silent when the opposition was raising this issue earlier. Bhardwaj stated that Rahul Gandhi is now speaking up, but this fight should not be solely for the interests of Congress, but for the entire democracy and the opposition. He argued that if the opposition had acted in time, questions about the stability of democracy in the country would not have arisen. He also warned that if transparency in the electoral process is not ensured, public trust will remain at risk in the future.
AAP's revelations and Rahul Gandhi's allegations are creating a stir on the political stage. Opposition parties are continuously pressuring the ruling BJP on this issue. Political experts suggest that this matter is also significant from the perspective of upcoming elections, and its effects could be far-reaching.
