Overview
- Rahul Gandhi renewed his charge of “wholesale” election theft, telling reporters he will show Gen Z how the BJP and top leaders allegedly manipulated results and that Narendra Modi became PM through “chunav chori.”
- He again cited his ‘H‑Files’ presentation on Haryana, alleging about 25 lakh fake or duplicate entries, repeated voter photographs, and a foreign model’s image appearing on multiple IDs.
- Gandhi claimed some BJP leaders who voted in Delhi also voted in Bihar’s first phase; AAP and Congress named Rakesh Sinha, who denied wrongdoing and said he shifted his registration, while the ECI said it had not received a written complaint.
- The Election Commission disputed Gandhi’s Haryana claims, noting no appeals were filed against the rolls, and the BJP called the accusations baseless and politically motivated.
- In Bihar, phase one recorded roughly 64.7% turnout as the CEC directed the state DGP to act after an attack on BJP candidate Vijay Sinha’s car, with phase two on November 11 and counting on November 14.
