India Today’s fact-checking team investigated Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s claim of over 10,000 fake votes in Bengaluru’s Mahadevapura constituency. Gandhi had alleged electoral fraud linked to Muni Reddy Garden addresses, accusing the BJP of manipulating EVMs and voter lists. However, India Today’s ground report and official data found no evidence supporting the claim of mass fake votes. Residents at the listed addresses confirmed their identities and eligibility. The report suggests Gandhi’s allegations may be politically motivated amid rising election tensions. The Election Commission has yet to respond officially to the controversy sparked by the viral claims.
