Election Commission has turned a deaf ear to our questions on vote stealing: DCM

We fully support Rahul Gandhi’s fight against vote stealing

Bengaluru Express
New Delhi, July 26: Accusing the Election Commission of India of turning a deaf ear to its questions on vote stealing, KPCC President and Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar on Friday warned of a fight if it is not resolved.

Speaking to a news media on vote stealing, he said, “I completely agree and support Rahul Gandhi’s statement on vote stealing. He has done a lot of research on the topic. We will also provide additional proof on this and stand behind Rahul Gandhi.”

“I have also reviewed the election process in Bengaluru and we have observed huge difference in voting percentages from one booth to another. The addition of voting booths is also not in order. As per our study in Mahadevapura constituency, there are huge discrepancies. A team of legal experts worked on this,” he explained.

Asked if Congress party lost many seats due to this, he said, “It is not a question of win or loss but a question of transparency and trust in the system.”

Asked if vote stealing had taken place in Bengaluru Rural parliamentary constituency in the last election, he said, “Yes, there is vote fraud in this constituency. We had thought the margin would be 7,000 to 8,000 votes but the eventual margin was over 1 lakh votes. It has come to our notice that there was a lot of planning for this. Similarly, there are no proper records for 60,000 votes in Mahadevapura constituency alone. We will place appropriate records before the House.”
