Bengaluru residents joined a lively Congress campaign on Friday, signing petitions and raising awareness about what party leaders call voter fraud in elections. The Karnataka Congress unit kicked off the event in the city, focusing on how such issues allegedly helped the BJP-led central government gain power.
Organized under Rahul Gandhi’s national leadership, the drive aims to remind people of their voting rights and fight to safeguard India’s Constitution and democracy. “Rahul Gandhi is spearheading this nationwide effort to expose voter fraud and protect our democratic values,” the Congress stated.
At the launch in Pulakeshinagar, AICC General Secretary Randeep Singh Surjewala fired up the crowd. He stressed that the Constitution ensures one person, one vote, but voter fraud is undermining that promise. “We all need to unite to defend our sacred Constitution,” Surjewala said.
He drew inspiration from India’s freedom fighters like Ashfaqulla Khan, Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev, Rajguru, Subhas Chandra Bose, and Bal Gangadhar Tilak. “Their sacrifices gave us this freedom, and now voter fraud is stealing it away step by step,” he added. Surjewala urged everyone to question, expose, and highlight these problems through big movements and local awareness drives across Karnataka.
The leader pointed to specific cases, like alleged voter fraud in Mahadevapura and Aland constituencies, claiming it happens in every assembly and Lok Sabha election nationwide. The goal? Gather more than five crore signatures and deliver them to the Election Commission of India to demand action.
Local leaders, workers from the Pulakeshinagar assembly area, plus members of Mahila Congress and Youth Congress, turned out in force to support the voter fraud awareness campaign.
