“This is one thing, voter deletion, voter addition, new voters who are way above 18 (is going on). So, we have caught them,” he said.”I want to send a message to the Election Commission – if you thing you are going to get away with this, if your officers think they are going to get away with this, you are mistaken, you are not going to get away with this because we are going to come for you,” Gandhi told reporters in Parliament House premises.The Congress leader on Wednesday alleged that elections are being “stolen” in India and claimed that his party has figured out the modus operandi of the “vote theft” by studying a Lok Sabha constituency in Karnataka.Gandhi said he would put before the people and the Election Commission in black in white on how the “theft of votes” is being done.His remarks came after it emerged that during house-to-house visits in the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral roll in Bihar, poll officials have so far found that more than 52 lakh voters were not present at their addresses.The opposition has been protesting in both houses of Parliament against the SIR, alleging that the EC’s exercise was aimed at disenfranchising voters in Bihar ahead of the assembly elections.
