According to Indian media, Indian Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, his sitting Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and other lawmakers were protesting against the Indian Election Commission (ECI) office on Monday evening on allegations of “voters’ fraud” by New Delhi police on Monday evening.

In addition to Rahul and his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, New Delhi police arrested several opposition MPs (MPs).

“This fight is not political […] This is to save the constitution. NDTV, transferred by police, told Rahul that the fight was for ‘one person, one vote’.

Confirming the detention of opposition leaders, Joint Commissioner of Police, Deepak Porohit, said politicians have been taken to a nearby police station.

The police officer, citing the reasons behind his detention, said that the opposition does not have the necessary permission for such protests and only 30 MPs are allowed to march to the ECI office and file a complaint.

After the Ink led the march to the ECI office of the Indian National Development Comprehensive Alliance (India), the remarks of Purath were revealed.

Later, opposition lawmakers, including the Lok Sabha Leader of the Opposition (LOP) Rahul and Congress MP Priyanka, returned to Parliament after being released to protest against the alleged “vote theft”.

The most populous democracy in the world has rarely questioned the credibility of elections in recent decades.

Some analysts say the opposition’s allegations could hurt Prime Minister Narendra Modi as he visits one of the most difficult periods in his 11 -year post.

Nearly 300 opposition leaders, including Rahul Gandhi of the Central Opposition Congress party, marched from Parliament to the office of an independent election panel, but police stopped at some distance.

Demonstrators chanted slogans against the panels and Modi’s government, saying the elections were “stolen”, and tried to advance past obstacles before being detained and taken on the buses.

Gandhi told reporters, “This fight is not political. This fight is meant to save the constitution.” “We want a clean, pure voter list.”

Gandhi and the Congress have alleged that the list of voters in the states where the party has lost, are corrupt, the names of the voters are more than once for Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party for rigging in the elections.

Opposition parties have also criticized the decision to revise the voters’ list in the northern state of Bihar of the election panel, before the state elections later this year, he said it was aimed at despising the large number of poor voters.

The BJP and the Election Commission have dismissed the allegations.

He cited a survey in Karnataka, according to which, according to him, six major irregularities were revealed: numerous entries for the same voter, registration of duplication in the states, flags of bulk voters in the same residence, unclear images on voter ID and misuse of Form 6, which is used for the first time.

The politician also accused the pool body of preparing a “choreographed schedule” for the state assembly elections with the BJP and claimed that the ECI refused to share the digital version of the voter rolls.

The ECI responded strongly to the allegations, calling them “ridiculous analysis” and urged the Congress leader to support his claims with a formal announcement under the oath.

‘The state of bankruptcy’

The commission has said that changes in voter lists are jointly with political parties and all complaints are fully investigated. It also states that to remove the dead voters or people, the list of voters needs to be revised in other parts of the country.

The Congress and its allies have performed poorly in the two state elections, which they expected to win after a impressive show in last year’s parliamentary vote, which left the BJP in power with the help of its majority and only with the help of regional parties.

The Congress has also complained about electronic voting machines and said that the counting process by the election panel is not appropriate, the allegations have been dismissed.

The BJP said that the opposition parties are trying to create a “state chaos” by sowing the seeds of doubts about the electoral process.

Federal Minister Dharmendra Pradhan told reporters on Monday, “They are in a state of bankruptcy due to their constant losses.”
