The Indian Express’ September 23, front-page investigation exposing fissures within the ECI, with two Commissioners dissenting the moves by CEC Gyanesh Kumar over the past 10 months has generated a political storm: the Indian National Congress protested the anti-constitutional functioning of the ECI and demanded the CEC’s resignation!
In a series of posts on social media platform ‘X’, both the party handle and Leader of the Opposition (LOP) Rahul Gandhi’s handle both highlighted the investigation and also credited Gandhi for his campaign on #VoteChori (Vote Theft). Gandhi had also called these shenanigans by the ruling party and ECI as treason.

Vote chori is a crime against the Indian people and a direct attack on our constitution.
The BJP, RSS and EC who organised it have committed an act of treason.
Justice will be served. pic.twitter.com/30kX06CBiH

ECI had conducted free & fair elections: LoP Rahul Gandhi ji would be India’s PM today. Congress would have formed govt in Haryana. Congress would have formed govt in MP. MVA would have formed govt in Maharashtra. Modi would have lost his own seat. ECI robbed the people’s mandate to please their masters.
