Congress to Run Torchlight Processions Amid Concerns Over Vote Theft
Congress, the leading opposition party, will hold torchlight processions in Maharashtra on June 12 to draw attention to potential "vote theft" in the 2024 polls. The party fears such a pattern could be repeated in the upcoming Bihar elections. In a recent press conference, Maharashtra Congress president Harshwardhan Sapkal questioned the Election Commission’s credibility and asked if similar vote frauds are planned for future elections.
Leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, have concerns about the integrity of the 2024 Maharashtra elections, which some believe might serve as a blueprint for future vote fixing. Noting suspicious spikes in voter turnout, Sapkal has called for a thorough investigation to safeguard democracy and ensure electoral integrity. His remark resonated with acid tasking outside Parliament, sparking renewed demands for an investigation into alleged election manipulations.
