BJP MP Jagdambika Pal fired back at Rahul Gandhi’s recent vote theft accusations, calling the Congress leader’s battle a fight for Bangladeshis and Rohingyas. Speaking to on Sunday in Mumbai, Pal dismissed Gandhi’s big claims as a dud. “Rahul Gandhi wanted to explode a hydrogen bomb, but nothing happened,” Pal said. He urged Gandhi to share any proof with the Election Commission of India, which he described as impartial.
Pal’s comments came amid ongoing controversy over alleged election fraud in India. Just a day earlier, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut backed Gandhi, claiming that 90% of Mahayuti MLAs in Maharashtra won their seats thanks to “vote chori” or vote stealing.
The row heated up after Gandhi’s press conference in Delhi on September 18. There, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha accused Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar of shielding vote thieves. Gandhi alleged that the CEC knows all about schemes to delete real voters and add fake ones to the voter lists—especially targeting minorities who tend to support Congress.
Gandhi said he has solid evidence, including 10% proof that Kumar is protecting those behind the fraud. He promised more details on his “hydrogen bomb” revelations soon, insisting a group is systematically cutting votes from Congress-leaning communities.
A key example Gandhi highlighted involves the Aland assembly constituency in Karnataka. He claimed someone tried to wipe out over 6,000 votes there ahead of the 2023 elections. “In Aland, Karnataka, 6,018 votes—somebody tried to delete these,” Gandhi explained. He shared how a booth-level officer caught the issue by chance when she noticed her uncle’s name missing from the voter list. Gandhi added that this is just one case they know about, and many more vote deletions likely went unnoticed across the country.
