Jhoot Bole Kauwa Kaate’: Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis Responds to Rahul Gandhi’s Voter List Tampering Allegations

Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis clashed on social media on Tuesday over allegations of voter list manipulation ahead of last year’s Assembly elections.

While the Leader of the Opposition, Gandhi, claimed that there were illegal additions to the voter list in Chief Minister Fadnavis' constituency and questioned the impartiality of the Election Commission of India (ECI). The BJP leader mocked the Congress MP and accused him of "shooting in the dark" to cast doubt on the election which his party lost in a "humiliating manner".

In his latest message on X, LoP Gandhi said, “In Maharashtra CM’s own constituency, the voter list grew by 8 per cent in just five months. Some booths saw a 20-50 per cent surge. Booth Level Officers reported unknown individuals casting votes. Media uncovered thousands of voters with no verified address. And the EC? Silent - or complicit. These aren’t isolated glitches. This is vote theft. The cover-up is the confession.”
