New Delhi: Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday launched a front against the Bharatiya Janata Party, claiming that every sixth of the 240 BJP MPs has won through vote theft.In a social media post on Twitter, Rahul accused BJP of keeping institutions in its pockets.Rahul said, “Sometimes votes are stolen to extract seats, and sometimes to form the entire government. Of the 240 BJP MPs in the Lok Sabha, almost every sixth MP has won through vote theft. It is not difficult to identify them – should we call them ‘infiltrators’ in BJP parlance? And Haryana? There, the entire government is infiltrators.”“The institutions that they have in their pockets, that tamper with voter lists and the electoral process – they themselves are ‘remote-controlled’. Their real fear is the truth. Because if there had been fair elections, they would not have been able to win even 140 seats today.”Rahul Gandhi’s reference to “theft of mandate” appeared to echo allegations made by Mamata Banerjee, who claimed that “more than 100 seats were stolen” in the state, a charge rejected by the BJP.Earlier, Mamata Banerjee alleged that the BJP had “looted” more than 100 seats and termed the Election Commission as “BJP’s Commission”, terming the victory as “immoral” and “illegal”.A day earlier, Rahul had cautioned party colleagues and other opposition leaders against celebrating the defeat of Trinamool Congress in West Bengal and termed the election result as a major threat to Indian democracy.Without taking names, Rahul Gandhi said, “Some and others in the Congress are celebrating TMC’s defeat. They need to understand this clearly: The theft of the mandate of Assam and Bengal is a major step by the BJP in its mission to destroy Indian democracy.”Urging political parties to move beyond electoral rivalries, he said, “Keep petty politics aside. This is not about one party or the other. This is about India.”
