The BJP is stepping up its criticism of the Congress party over allegations of voter registration irregularities. Recently, the party revealed that Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera has two voter IDs. Now, the BJP has also pointed fingers at Khera’s wife, a Congress leader, claiming she holds two active voter IDs in different states.
BJP leader and IT cell chief Amit Malviya shared on X (formerly Twitter) that Kota Neelima, who contested elections from Khairatabad in Telangana, also has two voter IDs—one in Khairatabad and another in New Delhi. He posted details of these IDs, showing both are active and linked to her.
Malviya criticized Rahul Gandhi, questioning why he hasn’t spoken up on the issue. He accused the Congress leader of damaging honest voters by publicly revealing their personal details without consent. Malviya said, “Rahul Gandhi’s silence is suspicious. He targeted young professionals and daily wagers who moved cities for better jobs, risking their privacy and safety.”
The BJP leader added that many Congress leaders seem to hold multiple voter IDs and are registered in more than one place, which suggests deliberate irregularities. He claimed that those involved in voter fraud are attacking ordinary citizens for exercising their democratic rights, while the Congress is accused of undermining election integrity.
Malviya further alleged that the root of the problem goes all the way to top Congress leadership, mentioning Sonia Gandhi—an Italian citizen—who, he claims, managed to get her name included on the voter list in 1980. He argued that the true goal of protecting illegal migrants and non-Indians is to preserve the Congress vote bank, not to defend democracy.
The BJP leader strongly urged Rahul Gandhi to address these allegations publicly and called for the Election Commission of India (ECI) to investigate. This comes just days after Delhi election officials issued a notice to Pawan Khera for reportedly registering in multiple electoral rolls. Khera has been asked to reply by September 8.
In response, Khera posted on X, criticizing the Election Commission, suggesting it is biased and favors the ruling party. He claimed that while opposition parties’ complaints about vote theft are ignored, the ECI is quick to target opposition members.
This controversy highlights growing concerns over voter security and transparency in India’s elections, with the BJP demanding accountability and transparency from the Congress and election authorities.
