Congress MP Rahul Gandhi has alleged massive election fraud in the Karnataka Assembly polls, claiming over 1 lakh “stolen votes” in the Mahadevapura seat. Pointing to discrepancies between Lok Sabha and Assembly results, he accused the Election Commission of manipulating voter rolls and said the agency evaded accountability by not sharing digital data. Gandhi cited fake addresses, duplicate voters, and bulk entries as proof. The poll body responded by challenging him to submit a sworn declaration. BJP leaders, including Ravi Shankar Prasad, dismissed the claims as baseless. Gandhi insists irregularities flipped key results against the INDIA bloc in Maharashtra and beyond. (PC: NDTV)
