BJP's Counter to Rahul Gandhi's ‘Vote Chori’ Charge - ‘Sonia Gandhi Was on Electoral Rolls Before Indian Citizenship’

BJP alleges Sonia Gandhi was registered on electoral rolls in 1980 and 1983 before gaining Indian citizenship in April 1983, calling it a violation of electoral law.

  • On Wednesday, BJP IT Cell chief Amit Malviya alleged Sonia Gandhi was listed as a voter before she obtained Indian citizenship, with her name appearing in 1980.
  • Amid tit-for-tat voter-fraud claims, Malviya alleged Sonia Gandhi’s name appeared in the 1980 Delhi voter list before her Indian citizenship, after Rahul Gandhi's accusations.
  • Evidence reveals Sonia Gandhi's name appeared at serial number 388 in the 1980 electoral roll of Safdarjung Road polling station 145, Malviya said.
  • Malviya termed the voter entry a clear violation of the law, while the Congress dismissed the allegations, insisting Sonia Gandhi never sought voter registration.
  • Against a backdrop of voter-roll battles, Malviya’s allegations come amid wider concerns over voter fraud and fears that Bihar’s Special Intensive Revision could disenfranchise lakhs of voters.
