As demands for discussion on the SIR of electoral rolls in Bihar have brought the Parliament to a standstill, Rahul on July 23 said that the Congress has figured out how “votes are being stolen” in India. Speaking to reporters at the Parliament House complex, Gandhi had asserted that he would put before the people and the Election Commission in “black in white” how the “theft of votes” is being done.Earlier, the Congress MP had also alleged that the BJP and the EC were “hatching a conspiracy to steal” the assembly elections in Bihar.Rahul had also drawn parallels between Bihar and Maharashtra accusing the poll body of vote manipulation. “In Maharashtra, the mandate was stolen. Now in Bihar, the right to vote is under threat an old conspiracy in a new form. We will continue to expose these anti-Constitutional forces. Together with the people and the youth, we will give a fitting reply,” he had said at a protest march in Patna against the SIR exercise.The Lok Sabha LoP had also shared his opinion piece published in a newspaper in June, writing “How to steal an election?”, describing the Maharashtra polls as “a blueprint for rigging democracy” and outlining, step by step, how he claims it was done.
