INDIA Bloc MPs Wear T-Shirts Featuring ‘Minta Devi’ to Protest Vote Fraud
In a bold and creative protest, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, along with other MPs from the INDIA bloc, took to the streets to express their discontent against alleged vote fraud and the SIR (Special Summary Revision) exercise in Bihar. The MPs were seen wearing t-shirts featuring the image of ‘Minta Devi’, a 124-year-old voter allegedly listed in Bihar’s draft voter list. This stunt was a clear indication of their frustration with the Election Commission and the BJP, which they accuse of manipulating the electoral process.
The protest was a response to the controversy surrounding the SIR exercise in Bihar, which has been marred by allegations of vote fraud and irregularities. The exercise is aimed at updating the electoral rolls, but critics argue that it has been marred by errors and manipulation. The INDIA bloc MPs, which includes leaders like Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Deepender Hooda, and Manish Tewari, have been vocal about their concerns and have been demanding a thorough investigation into the matter.
The t-shirts featuring Minta Devi’s image were a creative way for the MPs to highlight the absurdity of the situation. According to reports, Minta Devi’s name was listed as a voter in Bihar’s draft voter list, with her age being claimed as 124 years. This raises serious questions about the accuracy of the electoral rolls and the process of updating them.
The MPs’ protest was not just limited to wearing t-shirts featuring Minta Devi’s image. They also held placards and banners with slogans like “Stop Vote Fraud” and “Save Democracy”. The protest was peaceful, but it sent a strong message to the Election Commission and the BJP about the seriousness of the issue.
The controversy surrounding the SIR exercise in Bihar has been ongoing for several weeks, with allegations of vote fraud and irregularities surfacing from various parts of the state. The Election Commission has been accused of being slow to act and of not taking adequate measures to prevent manipulation of the electoral process.
The INDIA bloc MPs have been demanding a thorough investigation into the matter, and have been seeking answers from the Election Commission about the errors and irregularities in the electoral rolls. They have also been calling for stricter measures to prevent vote fraud and ensure the integrity of the electoral process.
The t-shirts featuring Minta Devi’s image were a clever way for the MPs to highlight the absurdity of the situation and to draw attention to the issue. It was a creative and attention-grabbing way to protest, and it sent a strong message to the Election Commission and the BJP about the seriousness of the issue.
The world’s oldest verified person is 115 years old, making Minta Devi’s claimed age of 124 years highly unlikely. The listing of her name in the electoral rolls has raised serious questions about the accuracy of the data and the process of updating the electoral rolls.
The protest by the INDIA bloc MPs is a clear indication of their commitment to ensuring the integrity of the electoral process and to protecting the rights of citizens. It is a reminder that the democratic process is not just about winning elections, but about ensuring that the process is fair and transparent.
As the controversy surrounding the SIR exercise in Bihar continues to unfold, it is clear that the INDIA bloc MPs will continue to be at the forefront of the protests. Their creative and attention-grabbing protest is a reminder that the fight for democracy and accountability is never easy, but it is essential for the health of a democratic society.
