Overview

• State party chief Amit Chavda said a 40% check of the Choriyasi segment in Navsari found nearly 30,000 duplicate, fake or suspicious entries out of 6,09,592 registered voters.
• Chavda cited patterns such as repeated names with minor spelling changes, multiple EPIC numbers for individuals, address shifts and entries listed in different languages.
• Extrapolating the local rate, Congress claimed up to 62 lakh bogus entries could exist across Gujarat, a figure not verified by the Election Commission or courts.
• Starting August 31, the party plans public meetings and door-to-door verification across constituencies, including a review of the chief minister’s seat.
• The BJP responded that Congress should file evidence on affidavit with the ECI, calling the claims baseless, while the poll panel and BJP have previously rejected Rahul Gandhi’s broader allegations.
