‘Rahul Gandhi Wants to Sow Anarchy and Chaos’: Fadnavis Hits Back at ‘Vote Theft’ Allegations

Fadnavis said all election commissioners backed the Special Intensive Revision unanimously and accused Rahul Gandhi of trying to weaken trust in constitutional bodies.

  • On Sunday, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis dismissed Opposition allegations of "vote theft" as baseless, accusing Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of attempting to undermine public trust in the Election Commission to sow seeds of "anarchy and chaos."
  • The Congress demanded the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar following an investigation by The Indian Express claiming two election commissioners formally objected at least 14 times over 10 months to the Special Intensive Revision process.
  • Fadnavis rejected reports of internal differences, stating all three election commissioners clarified in a joint statement on Saturday that decisions were taken "unanimously," adding "There is no dissent on the file either."
  • Dismissing Gandhi's allegations, Fadnavis said, "I want to say in very clear words that no votes were stolen. Rahul Gandhi's mind was stolen," characterizing his strategy as designed to confuse people and destabilize democratic institutions.
  • Addressing concerns from Lok Janshakti Party's Chirag Paswan and Telugu Desam Party's Chandrababu Naidu, Fadnavis questioned whether institutions created under Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar's Constitution are "so weak that they can be eliminated," characterizing Gandhi's design as weakening democratic faith.
