A large scale ‘voter list fraud’ or ‘votes’ Theft (Theft) On August 7, the Leader of the Lok Sabha described the revelations by opposition leader Rahul Gandhi, BJP and India’s Election Commission (ECI) as ‘misleading’ and ‘wrong’.

LOP claimed that after scanning and transferring through the lists of the physical voters of Mahadevpura (provided by the ECI), for more than six months, a team of 30-40 Congress volunteers reported the following findings:

• 11,965 duplicate voters voted in many booths (in 2024 Lok Sabha elections)

• 40,009 fake or invalid addresses, including addresses where the house number was shown as 0

• 10,452 wholesale voters at single address; For example, at a single-bedroom address, 80 voters were listed, which could not be detected in the investigation.

• 4,132 names with invalid photos

• 33,692 voters enrolled through misuse of Form 6, the form meant to list new voters, but in fact for the first time the voters were used for the age between 70 and 95.

1. The Election Commission’s response, as stated to the media in the media, was to demand that if the LOP believes in the conclusions, then he Should file a complaint On the oath, through an affidavit under the ECI rules. The ECI said, “Either signs the announcement on the issues raised by you in the press conference that you believe that it is true or apologizes to the nation.”

Since then, several constitutional experts, including former Lok Sabha General Secretary PDT Areri, former Election Commissioner OP Rawat and senior advocate Kapil Sibal, have said that the rules are not applicable in this case. According to Achary, “These rules are applicable until the draft rolls are implemented for 30 days of publishing … In this case elections were held 15 months ago (Lok Sabha Elections 2024) … They (ECI) are wrong to implement this rule.”

The Chief Electoral Officer of Karnataka and later the CEO of Maharashtra and Haryana asked the LoP to submit their complaints and evidence under the oath or declaration. First Elections, not later, they explained.

It was “a joke” to ask Gandhi to file an affidavit, Sibal said. He said, “They are asking to be filed under an affidavit in which no investigation can be done now …” he said. While the Election Commission has gone to the city, saying that Gandhi was asked to file an affidavit or apologize, they are not cleverly adding that no action can be taken and no investigation can be done under the rule – even if the affidavit has been filed, Sibal explained.

2. In his press conference, Lop named two voters in the Mahadevpura segment-Gorakirat Singh Dang, a 27-year-old man and Shakun Rani, a 71-year-old woman. Even 24 hours after the press conference, the Election Commission has maintained a study silence on these two names. Gurkirat’s four epic numbers-SVF1125525, SVF1124312, SVF1124627, and SVF1123017- And Shakun’s two- SVF 98911102 and SVF928896- can also be seen on the ECI website.

3. The CEO of Uttar Pradesh, however, was given to two other voters, who said by the LOP, it seemed that many states had cast their votes. While Vishal Singh was nominated in Varanasi Cantonment and also in Mahadevpura, Aditya Srivastava, he had said, enrolled in Karnataka, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh. The CEO of UP claimed that neither were found in UP’s election role.

Total news And fact checker Mohammad Zubair said that Gandhi showed screenshots of the roll on 16 March 2025 (after the revised list was published in January 2025), while the CEO used the screenshot from 7 August, the day the LoP addressed the press conference. The names that were in March disappeared in August?

The Election Commission has also not denied that Aditya Srivastava cast its vote in the Maharashtra Assembly elections and in the first 2024 Karnataka general election. While the same epic number of gentlemen were on the role of three separate states in March 2025, the fact has not yet been rejected by the ECI.

4. By an inquiry Today India Focus on booth no. 470 in Mahadevpura, especially home no. 35 in Muni Reddy Garden. Gandhi had shown the lists of voters to tell that 80 voters were registered with fraud at the address, a room which is barely 10–15 sq ft size. Property owner told Today India He did not know anyone in the list of voters registered at the address. He hired the migrant workers, and the current tenant is Dipankar from West Bengal, who barely rented a room a month ago.

However, by an investigation News minute Someone came to know by the name of Nishith Mandal, who is living in the room. 34 for the last 36 years. Most of the living rows were from West Bengal, Assam and other Eastern states, they accepted, and said that none of them were the best voters of their knowledge in Karnataka. That too, failed to identify any of the 80 voters registered at the address.

Once again, the ECI is clearly silent. Who are these 80 voters and how were they nominated? Will the ECI take action against the booth-tier officer (BLO) and its supervisor? Or will it wait for LOP to file a complaint on the first oath?

5. BJP IT cell chief Amit Malviya shared a picture of a family and posted on X: “In his press conference, Rahul Gandhi declared this family a” fake voter ” – all of an illegal picture. Perhaps the problem is that Rahul can see the bus. The family is catching his epic cards …”, he said.

Once again, Zubair reported that each of the three-member family in a photo shared by Malavia (Om Prakash Bagri, Saraswati Bagri and Mala Bagri) has two different epic IDs, which are registered in Mahadevpura in Bangalore Central, and in another Bengaluru South Constitution, Mala Bagri is registered with another epic card. “How can anyone have two epic numbers with different home places @Ecisveep, @ceokarnatakaPlease explain, “Zubair posted on X.

6. 153, Bengaluru has Bire Street, Whitefield apparently a cafe and a liquor deed. How did ECI allow 68 voters to use this address? There is no word from ECI yet.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee announced a major campaign after raising allegations of several voters with the same epic numbers, promising to solve repetition with its unique epic numbers. In May 2025, ECI claimed that it resolved the issue after 99 million voters across the country examined their entire database.

ECI’s claim was clearly false because even the Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Tejashvi Yadav, if ECI is believed to, is listed under two epic numbers. It is time for ECI to accept that the system is broken and allows an independent investigation.
