Shah Rebuts Rahul Gandhi on EC, CCTV, EVM, 'Vote Chori' Claims

  • Amit Shah rebutted Rahul Gandhi's accusations regarding the Election Commission, Special Intensive Revision (SIR), and alleged vote manipulation.
  • Shah defended the new law for CEC appointment, stating it introduced transparency by including the PM, a minister, and the Leader of Opposition in the selection process.
  • Shah clarified that polling booth CCTV footage is for internal management and is deleted after 45 days as per law, questioning why complaints aren't raised earlier.
  • Shah accused Congress of only raising EVM concerns after losing elections and not submitting any electoral reform suggestions to the EC since May 2014.
  • Rahul Gandhi stated Shah's response was defensive and failed to address his questions on transparent voter lists, EVM architecture, and CJI involvement in CEC selection.

Why It Matters: It questions the fairness of India's electoral process.
