Rahul Gandhi: Govt Changed EC Law For Immunity, Enabling 'Vote Theft'

  • Rahul Gandhi alleges the government changed laws to grant immunity to Election Commissioners and questioned the removal of the CJI from the EC selection panel.
  • He criticized the law allowing destruction of CCTV footage 45 days post-election, calling it a means for "election stealing."
  • Gandhi accused the BJP of "vote chori," labeling it the "biggest anti-national act" that destroys the idea of India.
  • He cited a Brazilian model appearing 22 times on Haryana's voter list as evidence of electoral malpractice.
  • Gandhi demanded political parties get access to EVMs and machine-readable voter lists, and called for changes to laws on EC immunity and CCTV footage destruction.

Why It Matters: It raises serious questions about election fairness and the EC's independence.
