Stepping up his offensive against the Election Commission of India, senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi today alleged the mass deletion of voters from Congress strongholds in Karnataka during the 2023 Assembly election. These voter IDs, he alleged, were deleted using fake logins and phone numbers from outside the state. He also alleged that this alleged voter deletion was being executed not by individuals, but with the use of software and in a centralised manner.
Sources in the Election Commission said the FIR in the case Rahul Gandhi is referring to was filed by the poll body itself. Sources in the Election Commission have termed Mr Gandhi’s allegations "incorrect" and "baseless". "No deletion of any vote can be done online by any member of the public, as misconceived by Shri Rahul Gandhi. No deletion can take place without giving an opportunity of being heard to the affected person," a source said. "In 2023, certain unsuccessful attempts were made for the deletion of electors in Aland Assembly Constituency, and an FIR was filed by the authority of ECI itself to investigate the matter," the source added. It also pointed out that the Aland Assembly seat was won by the BJP’s Subhadh Guttedar in 2018 and the Congress’s BR Patil in 2023.
