Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi clashed over \u2018vote chori\u2019 and electoral reforms, such as the ongoing pan-India special intensive revision exercise, in Parliament on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The ongoing winter session descended into fiery debate when Amit Shah and Rahul Gandhi sparred over allegations of \u2018vote chori\u2019. Shah retaliated against Gandhi\u2019s allegations of voter fraud by accusing previous Nehru-Gandhi regimes of engaging in electoral theft, calling them \u201cgenerational vote chor<\/em>“.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to tell you about 3 incidents of voter chori. First, after independence, the PM of the country was to be elected\u2026Sardar Patel got 28 votes and Jawaharlal Nehru got 2 votes. But Jawaharlal Nehru became the Prime Minister\u2026” Shah told the Lok Sabha, directly accusing India\u2019s first prime minister of vote theft.<\/p>\n

He cited the Allahabad High Court verdict on Raj Narain vs Indira Gandhi, which found the\u00a0 then PM Indira Gandhi guilty of electoral malpractice in her Rae Bareli election. On June 12, 1975, in a landmark ruling, Justice Jagmohanlal Sinha passed the order invalidating her win and banning her from office for six years, leading directly to the declaration of the <\/span>Emergency<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCan you give us a response as to why immunity was given to the prime minister by your government? I will speak about the immunity given to ECI (Election Commission of India)\u2026you first, answer the PM immunity\u2026you say we gave immunity to the EC (Election Commission)\u2026Smt Gandhi gave immunity to herself\u2026no one teaches them history,” he said.<\/p>\n

The confrontation began when Gandhi interrupted Shah\u2019s address, challenging him to engage in a full debate based on the contents of his three press conferences where he alleged widespread voter fraud and manipulation by the EC in collusion with the ruling BJP.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmit Shah ji, I challenge you to have a debate on the three press conferences,” Gandhi said, , specifically questioning why full immunity had been granted to election commissioners. \u201cHe (Shah) must tell us the thinking behind this. He talked of Haryana, he gave one example but there are numerous examples (of vote chori).”<\/p>\n

Shah fiercely resisted the demand, saying he will not adjust his speaking order or frame his debate as per the wishes of the opposition. He said Gandhi \u201ccan\u2019t run Parliament with your obstinacy” and demanded patience. When Gandhi hit back, labelling his response as \u201ccompletely defensive”, \u201cfrightened”, and \u201cnot genuine”, Shah broadened his attack.<\/p>\n

He defended the government\u2019s efforts regarding the special intensive revision (SIR) explaining it is the specific \u201cprocedure to sanitise the voter list”. He accused the opposition of \u201cdouble standards”, stating: \u201cWhen you win, EC is great. When you lose, EC is useless and works at BJP\u2019s behest. He did a PC and said voter list is not fair; SIR is the way for voter revision\u2026this the only way to do it. What is \u2018vote chori\u2019\u2026some families are pushtaini<\/em> (generational) vote chor<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

The home minister countered the opposition\u2019s claims that the BJP avoids anti-incumbency by arguing that anti-incumbency affects only those \u201cwho work against the public interest” and acknowledged that while the BJP rarely faces it, \u201cit is not as if we have never lost any election after 2014″.<\/p>\n
