The BJP has accused Congress MP Sonia Gandhi of being listed on India’s electoral rolls three years before gaining citizenship. BJP MP Anurag Thakur claimed Sonia, born in Italy, was added to the 1980 New Delhi constituency voter list while still holding Italian citizenship. BJP IT Cell chief Amit Malviya shared a photocopy of the roll from polling station 145, showing her name alongside Indira, Rajiv, Sanjay, and Maneka Gandhi. Malviya alleged “glaring violations” of electoral law, linking it to Rahul Gandhi’s stance on voter eligibility. Congress has yet to respond to the claims, which have reignited political tensions over voter fraud. (PC: India Today)
