Rahul Gandhi Says Stolen Votes Nullify All Parliamentary Laws, Calls for Election Chief’s Resignation

Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday declared that alleged vote‑stealing makes every law passed by Parliament invalid. At a press briefing in Indira Bhawan he singled out Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah and RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat as conspirators in a scheme to hijack the election. Gandhi called the alleged act an assault on the Constitution and warned that MPs seated on a stolen mandate cannot legitimately pass legislation. He demanded the immediate resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and urged him to become an approver, calling such a move a patriotic duty. The Congress leader also criticised election commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi, saying their acceptance of the situation fed the narrative of “vote theft”. Referring to a recent Indian Express report, Gandhi noted that Sandhu and Joshi had logged at least fourteen objections to commission decisions over a ten‑month span. He linked these internal dissent reports to a broader pattern he described as “vote‑chori” leading to “kanoon‑chori” and then “sanstha‑chori”, a chain that threatens the whole democratic framework. Gandhi labelled Modi, Shah and Kumar as “traitors” and pledged that those responsible would face punishment. He reiterated that the 2024 Lok Sabha polls were “completely fake” and called for a thorough probe. The Chief Justice of India has also issued three demands to the Election Commission, adding further pressure on its members. Gandhi concluded by stating that democracy must not be allowed to collapse in silence.
