Rahul Gandhi accuses Modi, Shah, and CEC of vote theft in Goa

Rahul Gandhi Goy Rakhon Yatra vote theft Goa Assembly elections Indian National Congress

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi participated in the conclusion of the ‘Goy Rakhon Yatra’ (Save Goa) in Margao, Goa, on October 18. During a public meeting, Gandhi leveled serious allegations against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar, claiming they are involved in a coordinated system of “vote theft” or “vote chori.”

Gandhi alleged that the Prime Minister plans the electoral manipulation from behind the scenes, the Home Minister operationalizes it, and the CEC implements it. He asserted that these actions constitute an attack on the Constitution and democratic principles. The Congress leader claimed the party has evidence of such irregularities in several states, including Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, and West Bengal.

The yatra, which spanned 27 days and covered all 40 assembly constituencies in Goa, was positioned by the Congress party as a movement to protect the state’s land, identity, and environment ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections. Gandhi also criticized the BJP-led government in Goa for corruption and mismanagement, stating that the Congress would continue to fight for accountability and justice.
