Rahul Gandhi Sparks Political Storm Over Alleged Voter Fraud in Maharashtra

Rahul Gandhi, a senior Congress figure, has ignited controversy by claiming irregularities in Maharashtra's electoral roll. Accusations of 'vote theft' have escalated tensions between the ruling and opposition parties, prompting calls for an independent investigation.

The allegations question the integrity of the Election Commission of India (ECI) and have sparked demands for Maharashtra's Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to resign. Critics accuse the ECI of bias, while the opposition insists on an impartial probe into the alleged voter list discrepancies.

While some opposition parties back Gandhi's claims, BJP figures label his allegations as baseless. They claim that similar issues occurred during the Congress regime, and they call for legal battles over public accusations. The growing discourse underscores tensions in upcoming political contests.
