During a massive and grand mega rally organized by the INDIA opposition bloc at the historic Ramlila Maidan in New Delhi, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi launched a severe and aggressive attack on the Election Commission, the Chief Election Commissioner, and the central government. Organized to demand the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, Rahul Gandhi made grave allegations from the stage, claiming that immediately after the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the names of nearly fifteen percent of voters in the country were systematically removed from the voter lists. Raising serious questions about the entire electoral process, he addressed the citizens and stated that the 2024 elections were completely illegal and were evidently elections involving the outright theft of votes. Specifically mentioning Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar during his address, Rahul Gandhi remarked that Gyanesh Kumar is unable to sleep peacefully at night. He declared in unequivocal terms that removing the Chief Election Commissioner from his post will be the opposition's very first step, while he further claimed openly that Gyanesh Kumar will be removed from the position of CEC and will be sent to jail.
Gyanesh Kumar and top leaders losing sleep
Continuing his aggressive speech, Rahul Gandhi taunted that Gyanesh Kumar is unable to sleep at night, and while he personally feels bad about this situation, the reality remains that Gyanesh Kumar has worked to suppress the voice of the ordinary people of this country, while not only the Chief Election Commissioner, but Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Prime Minister Narendra Modi are also unable to sleep peacefully at night. Clarifying his stance, Rahul Gandhi stated that we're people who spread love, and this entire campaign of ours is a major voice aimed at saving the constitution and democracy of the country, while he reiterated that immediately after the conclusion of the 2024 general elections, fifteen percent of voters in India disappeared from the voter rolls, which directly and clearly means that the 2024 election was an entirely illegal election. This was direct vote theft, and this isn't just being said by us, but by the Election Commission data and facts themselves.
Widespread vote theft in elections across multiple states
Expanding on his arguments, Rahul Gandhi specifically mentioned various states across the country. He alleged that the systematic theft of votes has been taking place in this country for a very long time. To support this claim, he prominently cited past assembly and other elections in states such as Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, and Karnataka. He stated that votes were stolen on a massive scale during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections alongside all these states. The entire electoral process was deeply compromised through electronic voting machines, known as EVMs, and by tampering with voter lists through the deletion of existing names or the addition of fake ones. According to Rahul Gandhi, dangerous attempts are being made to weaken the constitutional and democratic rights of ordinary voters in the country through such calculated manipulation of voter registries. He asserted that this isn't a minor theft, but a direct theft of the fundamental rights of every single citizen of Hindustan. He categorized it under the rarest of rare crimes, terming it as a serious act equivalent to treason. Rahul Gandhi went as far as saying that without the cooperation and support of Gyanesh Kumar, neither could Narendra Modi have become the Prime Minister of this country, nor could Amit Shah have become the Home Minister. Launching a strong critique against the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, or RSS, he stated that the RSS has completely captured almost all the major institutions of the country. As a direct result of this capture, hardworking farmers and poor laborers of today aren't receiving their rightful dues, and millions of youths in the country are being forced to remain deprived of employment opportunities.
Protection of the last person in line and harsh criticism of capitalists
Attacking the country's economic policies and corporate tycoons, Rahul Gandhi stated that all the wealth of the nation is continuously flowing toward a select few corporate capitalists such as Adani and Ambani. All the humongous loans worth crores and thousands of crores belonging to these big industrialists are easily written off, whereas on the contrary, if the son of a poor farmer in the country fails to repay even a minor bank loan, he's humiliated, beaten with shoes, and thrown directly behind the bars of a prison, while he explicitly stated that we don't want such an India under any circumstances. Using the metaphor of Shiva's procession, Rahul Gandhi explained that anyone can join Lord Shiva's procession, and any ordinary human being can participate and dance in that cosmic dance of destruction without any restrictions based on identity, while we want a free Hindustan where no citizen is ever stopped or discriminated against. Farmers must receive the full rewards of their hard work, and the students of the country must receive the fruits of their eighteen hours of grueling daily toil in the form of employment opportunities, while he strongly emphasized that this country can never become a nation of hatred. We harbor no personal hatred whatsoever toward Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, or Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. We're people who open shops of love, but it's also an undeniable truth that you've launched a direct and lethal attack on the core soul and sacred democracy of this great nation. We will never tolerate or condone such attacks. He declared that he has no personal enemies anywhere in this world. For him, defending the voice of the ordinary citizen of this country takes precedence over any religion, and this is his true religion. Whether it's Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, or the RSS, we will never beat them up or harm them physically, but such continuous attacks on democracy are completely unacceptable to us. We've to protect the very last person standing in the queue. These individuals have spread the poison of hatred across the entire country, causing immense damage to the nation. Rahul Gandhi stated that we're repeating this message because we don't want hatred in the country; we only want love. Shops of love are about to open across the nation. You've not just sent a message to Modi, Amit Shah, or Gyanesh Kumar, but have demonstrated a powerful testament to your collective unity.
Mallikarjun Kharge gives the slogan of remove Modi and save democracy
Addressing this massive mega rally, national president of the Congress party Mallikarjun Kharge also launched a very sharp and aggressive attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the current central government. Addressing the gathered public, he stated that malicious attempts are continuously being made in this country to divide people among themselves and snatch away their sacred right to vote. Making grave accusations against the central government, Kharge stated that the administration is openly misusing central investigative agencies such as the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Enforcement Directorate in a failed attempt to intimidate and suppress opposition leaders. Challenging Prime Minister Modi directly, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge stated, Modi Ji, don't ever think that only your police force operates in this country. You deploy central agencies like the CBI and the ED to intimidate the opposition. But we aren't intimidated bureaucrats; we're fighting directly against political leaders in the political arena, while he added that today, attempts are being made to divide the public along caste and religious lines and systematically snatch away the fundamental right to vote belonging to ordinary Indian citizens. Mallikarjun Kharge strongly criticized the central government alongside the state governments of Maharashtra, Bihar, and Uttar Pradesh, while he appealed to all opposition parties in the country to set aside their mutual differences, unite completely, and announce a strong struggle against this dictatorial regime. Concluding his speech with great vigor, Kharge raised the famous slogan of Remove Modi and appealed to the citizens of the nation that the departure of Modi from power is essential to genuinely safeguard the country's democracy. Urging everyone to listen to the inspiring speeches of all senior leaders of the INDIA bloc and fight together collectively, Mallikarjun Kharge concluded his address by stating, Come, let us all unite to remove this Modi government, strengthen the democracy of our country further, and make this great nation even more powerful and prosperous.
