Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is set to spearhead a protest in Bengaluru on August 4, shedding light on what he describes as a 'votes theft' mechanism allegedly discovered by the party in a Karnataka constituency. The protest will culminate in a representation to Election Commission officials.
Gandhi's claims come amid a controversy surrounding the revision of electoral rolls in Bihar, where he alleged that elections in India are being 'stolen.' The protest in Bengaluru is intended to showcase the findings to the public and election authorities.
In support, Karnataka's Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and state Congress officials have echoed Gandhi's concerns, alleging that the BJP manipulated electoral processes in their favor during the Lok Sabha elections. The program will adhere to court directives against processions in the city.
