#VoteChori: Rahul Gandhi Remains Defiant As Election Commission Wants Him To Sign

The Election Commission has asked LoP Rahul Gandhi to share details of wrongful entries and omissions in voters’ list and sign a declaration if he is convinced that his analysis of ‘vote theft’ is correct, sources said  but the Congress leader hit back asserting he has already taken oath in Parliament to uphold the Constitution.

According to PTI, As Gandhi continued with his attack on the EC alleging vote theft in at least three states, the poll panel said if he believes in his analysis and feels that his allegations against the EC are true, he should have ‘no problem’ in signing the declaration under electoral rules and submit names wrongfully added or removed from voters’ list, according to the sources.

However, if Gandhi does not sign the declaration, it would mean that he does not believe in his analysis and resultant conclusions and ‘absurd allegations’.

In which case he should apologise to the nation, they felt.

The chief electoral officers of three states had  asked Gandhi to share the names of electors he claimed were either included or excluded wrongfully from the voter lists along with a signed declaration for the poll authorities to initiate ‘necessary proceedings’ in the matter.

Addressing a Vote Adhikar rally in Bengaluru on Friday, Gandhi said he has already taken oath in Parliament to uphold the Constitution.
