In a robust display of defiance, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and prominent leader Rahul Gandhi spearheaded the 'Vote Adhikaar Rally' at Freedom Park, Bengaluru. The gathering, which includes Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, aims to protest against the alleged vote theft impacting India's democratic fabric. Tight security has enveloped the site as demonstrators voice their dissent.

Undeterred by the controversies, Rahul Gandhi echoed his 'vote theft' accusations, asserting that justice will prevail against those perpetrating electoral scams. He implicated that the manipulation with the Mahadevapura Assembly votes highlights a conspiracy that could redefine the political landscape, as reported by ANI.

Communicating at Congress headquarters, Gandhi made bold assertions regarding collusion between the Election Commission and BJP, questioning the validity of Narendra Modi's leadership. Karnataka's CM backed these statements, highlighting a disturbing pattern of electoral manipulation, prompting nationwide protests as Congress combats such practices to protect each vote.
