BJP’s Latest Conspiracy is to Steal Bihar Polls through SIR: Rahul
In a shocking allegation, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of manipulating elections nationwide, including the upcoming Bihar polls. Speaking at the ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’ event in Bihar, Rahul Gandhi claimed that the BJP’s latest conspiracy is to conduct Special Intensive Revision (SIR) and steal the Bihar elections.
The statement comes as a major blow to the BJP, which has been in power at the Centre for the past seven years. Rahul Gandhi’s allegations have sent shockwaves across the political spectrum, with many questioning the integrity of the electoral process.
At the event, Rahul Gandhi said, “I’m telling you from this stage that Vidhan Sabha and Lok Sabha elections are being stolen in the entire country.” He went on to add, “Their (BJP’s) latest conspiracy is to conduct Special Intensive Revision (SIR)…and steal the Bihar elections as well.”
The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) is a process by which the Election Commission of India (ECI) updates the electoral rolls and makes necessary corrections. While the process is routine, Rahul Gandhi’s allegations suggest that the BJP is trying to use it to manipulate the electoral process in its favor.
Rahul Gandhi’s allegations have been met with strong denial by the BJP. In a statement, the party’s spokesperson said, “The BJP has always believed in the democratic process and has never resorted to any unfair means to win elections. Rahul Gandhi’s allegations are baseless and an attempt to divert attention from his party’s failures.”
However, Rahul Gandhi’s allegations have resonated with many who have been critical of the ECI’s handling of the electoral process. In recent years, there have been several instances of electoral irregularities and manipulation, which have led to widespread distrust among voters.
The BJP’s handling of the electoral process has been under scrutiny, particularly in the aftermath of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. There were reports of widespread irregularities, including bogus voting, booth captured, and EVM tampering. The allegations were vehemently denied by the BJP, but many have questioned the integrity of the electoral process.
Rahul Gandhi’s allegations have also been seen as a desperate attempt by the Congress to regain relevance in the state. The party has been struggling to regain its lost ground in Bihar, where it has been out of power for over a decade. The Congress has been trying to capitalize on the growing discontent among voters against the BJP, but its efforts have been met with limited success.
Despite the BJP’s denial, Rahul Gandhi’s allegations have sparked a heated debate on social media. Many have taken to social media to express their outrage and disgust at the alleged manipulation of the electoral process. Others have questioned the credibility of the ECI and called for greater transparency and accountability in the electoral process.
The controversy has also sparked a wider debate on the need for electoral reforms in India. Many have called for greater transparency and accountability in the electoral process, including the use of VVPAT (Voter Verified Paper Audit Trail) machines and the implementation of a robust electoral audit system.
In conclusion, Rahul Gandhi’s allegations of the BJP’s latest conspiracy to steal the Bihar polls through SIR have sent shockwaves across the political spectrum. While the BJP has denied the allegations, many have questioned the integrity of the electoral process and called for greater transparency and accountability. As the country heads towards the Bihar polls, it is crucial that the ECI and the political parties take concrete steps to ensure the integrity of the electoral process and maintain public trust in the democratic system.
