The row over 'vote theft' that has shaken Indian politics

A political row has ignited in India over allegations of "vote theft", with opposition parties accusing the Election Commission of irregularities favoring the ruling BJP in the 2024 elections. Rahul Gandhi claims widespread voter manipulation, backed by granular election data but disputed by the ECI and the BJP. Claims include duplicate voters, invalid addresses, and bulk registrations. The BJP and ECI vehemently deny these claims, prompting a heated debate and demands for scrutiny of digital voter rolls.
