NEW DELHI: Leader of opposition in Lok Sabha and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, along with Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut and NCP-SCP MP Supriya Sule, on Friday alleged discrepancies in the voter list for the recently concluded Maharashtra elections.
Addressing a joint press conference in the national capital, Rahul claimed that the opposition had uncovered “many irregularities” after scrutinising voter data.
Rahul said, “We represent on this table – the entire opposition that fought the last election in Maharashtra. We are going to bring some information about the election. We studied the details – the voters and the voting list. Our teams have been working, and we have found many irregularities.”
Highlighting the alleged discrepancy, he pointed out a sharp rise in voter numbers in a short span.
He added, “In 5 years between the Vidhan Sabha elections in 2019 and Lok Sabha, 2024 – 32 lakh voters were added. However, in period of 5 months between Lok Sabha 2024 which these parties (Congress, NCP-SCP, Shiv Sena (UBT))won and Vidhan Sabha elections – 39 lakh voters were added. The question is, who are these 39 lakh voters? That is equivalent to the total number of voters of Himachal Pradesh. The second point is, why there are more voters in Maharashtra than the entire voting population of the state? Somehow, the voters have been suddenly created in Mahrashtra.”
