On August 17, 2025, Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar sharply responded to Congress MP Rahul Gandhi’s “vote theft” allegations (referred to as “vote chori”), demanding that he either submit a sworn affidavit substantiating his claims within seven days or issue a public apology—declaring there is “no third option” . The CEC described Gandhi’s allegations as an “insult to the Constitution” and said any failure to comply renders the claims baseless . This comes amid Gandhi’s Voter Adhikar Yatra, which aims to spotlight alleged electoral irregularities across multiple states. (PC: ANI)
