Muzaffarpur (Bihar) [india], August 27 (ANI): Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi questioned Amit Shah’s claim on BJP’s long-term political dominance, attributing it to ‘vote chori’ or vote theft.
Gandhi targeted BJP leader Amit Shah’s recent statement claiming the party would stay in power for the next 40 years.
He said, “A few days ago, Amit Shah said that the BJP will remain in power for the next 40 years. No one knows what would happen in politics, but Amit Shah knows the future for the next 40 years. How? Vote Chori.”
The Lok Sabha LoP also criticised the BJP for allegedly stealing votes, noting even six-year-old children made such observations.
He said, “On my way here, a group of 6-year-olds looked at me and said ‘Narendra Modi Vote chor’. Children as young as 6 years have understood that votes are being stolen in India.”
Meanwhile, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin slammed the BJP-led Centre for “making the Election Commission a puppet” and said that if elections are conducted in “a fair manner”, the NDA is going to lose in the upcoming Bihar Assembly election.
The Chief Minister was addressing a rally in Bihar’s Muzaffarpur after participating in the ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’ led by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.
“If elections are conducted in a fair manner, the NDA is going to lose. They (Centre) have made the Election Commission a puppet that is being run by a remote control. Removing the people of Bihar from the voters’ list is not right,” he said while addressing the crowd in Tamil. His speech was translated into Hindi.
Stalin said that the INDIA bloc parties are “united to protect democracy”.
“The friendship between Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav is not just a political relationship; it is a relationship between two brothers. This friendship is going to make them victorious. We have united to protect democracy,” Stalin said.
“I have come from Tamil Nadu to support my brothers. Rahul Gandhi has exposed the ‘vote chori’ by the Election Commission. CEC Gyanesh Kumar says that Rahul Gandhi should give an affidavit or apologise. Will Rahul Gandhi ever get scared by all this?… Today, the BJP is attacking them because it has shown how the BJP has turned elections into a joke,” he said.
Earlier, Stalin was seen waving his hands at the INDIA bloc supporters from an open vehicle along with Rahul Gandhi, Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP) founder Mukesh Sahani and CPI (ML) leader Dipankar Bhattacharya. (ANI)
