New Delhi, Aug 25<\/strong> : Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, on Saturday, levelled serious allegations against the Election Commission of India (ECI), accusing it of facilitating electoral fraud and compromising the integrity of the electoral process. Addressing over 1,500 delegates at the annual Legal Conclave titled \u2018Constitutional Challenges \u2013 Perspectives & Pathways\u2019<\/em>, Gandhi claimed his party has gathered \u201cconclusive evidence\u201d exposing large-scale voter list manipulation and malpractices orchestrated under the watch of the ECI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a strongly-worded speech, Gandhi alleged that the Election Commission has \u201cdisappeared\u201d as an independent institution and no longer functions autonomously. \u201cWe now have irrefutable proof that electoral fraud has been carried out with the complicity of the Election Commission. This is not an allegation\u2014it is evidence-based,\u201d Gandhi said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He recounted that, for years, allies had expressed suspicions of electoral malpractice but hesitated due to a lack of concrete proof. \u201cPeople would tell me, \u2018Yes, cheating is happening but there\u2019s no evidence.\u2019 Today, I can tell you with complete certainty\u2014we have the proof,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Detailing the party’s investigative efforts, Gandhi revealed that the Congress conducted a six-month-long manual audit of booth-wise voter lists provided by the ECI. He alleged that these lists were deliberately made unscannable and uncopyable, hindering transparency. \u201cWhy would the Election Commission distribute voter lists in a format that cannot be scanned or copied? It took us six months of painstaking work to break through this barrier,\u201d he questioned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gandhi explained that his team manually verified 6.5 lakh voter entries, comparing photographs and names one by one. Through this exhaustive process, they allegedly uncovered 1.5 lakh fake entries. \u201cWe went entry by entry, photograph by photograph. The Congress Party has done meticulous work that exposes how voter lists have been tampered with,\u201d he said, praising the party\u2019s diligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He linked his concerns back to the 2019 Maharashtra elections, where despite a strong Lok Sabha showing, the Congress and its allies suffered an unexpected defeat in the state polls. \u201cThree powerful parties simply vanished overnight. That was a red flag. Since then, we have been seriously investigating electoral malpractice,\u201d Gandhi said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that irregularities were first noticed in Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Madhya Pradesh, but recent months provided concrete documentation. \u201cThis is nothing short of treason. Tampering with democracy is a betrayal of the nation. And those responsible will be held accountable,\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gandhi urged the legal fraternity to recognize the systematic dismantling of India\u2019s constitutional architecture. \u201cThe Constitution\u2019s framework was built by legal minds\u2014by you. Today, that very framework is being taken apart brick by brick, both openly and in hidden ways,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His allegations arrive amid rising scrutiny over alleged voter list anomalies, including issues in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process in Bihar, as well as electoral rolls in Karnataka and Maharashtra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gandhi\u2019s remarks mark an escalation in the Congress party\u2019s offensive against the Election Commission, intensifying debates over the transparency and fairness of India\u2019s electoral mechanisms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
