Congress leader Rahul Gandhi accused Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar of blocking an investigation into alleged voter deletions in Karnataka’s Aland constituency. Gandhi said the Karnataka CID had written 18 letters in 18 months seeking crucial data, but the requests were “blocked.” He alleged 6,018 votes were nearly deleted, which could have affected results. The Election Commission dismissed his charges through a #ECIFactCheck post, calling them “incorrect and baseless.” The Karnataka CEO later said all available information had already been shared with police in Kalaburagi. Gandhi insisted the commission was shielding “vote chors” and those who “destroyed democracy.” (PC: X)
