Congress Leader Rahul Gandhi’s Claim About President Murmu’s Acceptance of ‘Vote Theft’ Allegations Disputed

By Rajeev Singh

In a meeting with President Droupadi Murmu, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi alleged that the President had accepted his claims of ‘vote theft’. Sources told the news agency PTI that the claim is incorrect. They described the allegation as ‘unfortunate’ and ‘bizarre’. BJP spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi said Gandhi was lying and that the president had not accepted the allegations. Trivedi added that only someone other than the INDIA bloc delegation could reveal what actually transpired. He criticised Gandhi’s body language and facial expressions, suggesting the statements were not truthful. The BJP MP also said Gandhi’s past record shows a pattern of political statements rather than facts. Gandhi had said he expected the president to deny ‘vote theft’ and affirm a free and fair electoral system. He claimed the president accepted the allegations and demanded proof of ‘election theft’. The president reportedly asked for evidence, to which Gandhi replied that evidence of ‘election theft’ is known nationwide and that the 2024 election was stolen. The BJP spokesperson said the same group would be ready to present evidence when the president was ready to accept it.
