*Congress appointed BLAs at booth level.
Neither Prime Minister Narendra Modi nor BJP leaders have any role in preparing the voter list,which is done by officials.
Therefore,Rahul Gandhi’s allegations are like a dud firecracker,said Opposition Leader R.Ashoka,criticizing him.
Speaking at a press conference,he said,”Rahul Gandhi hasn’t dropped a bomb;it’s just a dud firecracker.In the recent Lok Sabha elections in the state,Congress appointed Booth Level Agents (BLAs) for every booth.
The initial voter list is provided to the BLA,who is appointed by KPCC President D.K.Shivakumar.The BLA handles tasks like removing names of deceased voters and adding new ones.Hasn’t Congress,which appointed these BLAs, done anything wrong?”he questioned.
He further stated,”When D.K.Shivakumar himself had the voter list,complaints about irregularities should have been raised then.
Neither Prime Minister Narendra Modi nor BJP leaders have any role in this.Panchayat secretaries,postal workers,tax collectors, health workers—all these people are involved in preparing the voter list.Are they all BJP members?How could BJP add names irregularly to the voter list?”he asked.
“In some states,Congress leaders have been arrested for fraudulent voting practices.In Bengaluru’s Gandhinagar, there are 18 Muslim voters in a single small house.
How is it possible for so many voters to be in one house?In Nagavara ward of Sarvagnanagar constituency,the Congress MP received 5,965 more votes than their MLA.
How did Congress get so many extra votes? In HBR Layout,the MP got 3,646 more votes than the MLA,and in Kadugondanahalli,3,432 extra votes were recorded.
Who added all these votes? As soon as they lose,they claim the Election Commission is at fault,”he said.
“After the 2023 Assembly elections,the 2024 Lok Sabha elections took place.In just one year, some new voters were added. In Padmanabhanagar,I got 57,000 votes,but 20,000 more should have come.
However,Muslims were brought from elsewhere and added here.The revenue department conducts all elections.
When everyone is from the Congress government, how can irregularities happen?In the past,when Congress was in power everywhere,bogus voting was common.
They used to carry away ballot boxes.Dacoits like Phoolan Devi ran the show.Rahul Gandhi seems to want that kind of election now,”he remarked.
“Indira Gandhi was disqualified for electoral malpractice but still won.That hasn’t happened with Narendra Modi. The Gandhi family’s history is full of irregularities. They’ve all won elections through malpractice,” he added.
