Rahul Gandhi, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, has allege mass voter deletion in the Aland assembly constituency of Karnataka, saying that these deletion was done using mobile phones and software, not only by individual work. He presented five evidence pieces to support his claim of a centralised operation that target polling booths strong for Congress party.

One example Gandhi share was Curious case of Godabai where fake login was created and attempt to delete 12 voter names. Another case he mention was 12 deletions happen in 14 minutes at one booth, and two deletion forms submit in only 36 second at 4:07 am. He also claim mobile numbers from outside Karnataka was used for this applications.

Gandhi argue these deletions are not random but carefully plan, focusing on Congress support areas. He stress that he has 100 per cent proof and demand Election Commission to give IP addresses, OTP trails and software log to show where forms was actually send from. He also say Karnataka CID has many time asked for such data but not got satisfactory reply.

Election Commission, however, reject Gandhi’s charge, calling them “incorrect and baseless.” They insist that no voter deletion can be done online by public, and proper process is always needed. The conflict of claim has made controversy bigger over election integrity in Karnataka and also beyond. Citizens now wait to see if EC will accept any proof or open deeper investigation.
