‘New Fairytale’: Union Minister Pralhad Joshi Slams Rahul Gandhi, Terms Congress ‘Real Vote Chor’ | Politics News

Union minister Pralhad Joshi slams Rahul Gandhi over his accusations on Election Commission.

BJP leader and Union minister Pralhad Joshi on Thursday slammed Rahul Gandhi for his accusations on the Election Commission and “votes being deleted in a centralised manner” claim, terming them as “Rahul Gandhi’s new fairytale – ‘vote chori’!”. Joshi’s comments came after the poll body dismissed the Congress leader’s accusations and termed them “incorrect and baseless”.

Attacking the Congress party over its fake allegations of vote chori on the Election Commission, the Union minister accused Rahul Gandhi of “attention chori”.

Taking to X, Joshi wrote, “After his failed attempt on his vote chori allegations, which was debunked and exposed CONgress for the fake claims, yet again Attention chori, Rahul Gandhi chooses to not learn from earlier mistakes. The Election Commission of India has clearly denied his baseless claims, reaffirming that no votes can be deleted online.”

The Union minister further mocked Rahul Gandhi for bringing in the example of Aland, a constituency in Karnataka, where the Congress party won elections and stated that claim that the voters were deleted online is laughable. “Rahul is unaware of the election process, period. Does he not know that voters cannot be deleted online? Why did he not speak about Malur Assembly seat in Karnataka?” Joshi added.

Terming the Congress party as the “real vote chor”, the Union Minister for Consumer Affairs referred to the Malur constituency in Karnataka, where the election of Congress legislator KY Nanjegowda was set aside by the High Court because of poll malpractice and a fresh counting of votes was ordered.

“The real vote chor is CONgress. After losing 20+ elections on EVMs, maybe it’s not the machine, it’s the CONgress that’s faulty,” Union minister Pralhad Joshi said.
