Leaders of the Indian National Congress have leveled accusations of systemic electoral manipulation against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and central government officials. In Goa, Rahul Gandhi concluded the ‘Goy Rakhon Yatra’ by alleging a coordinated system of “vote theft” involving Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Gandhi claimed the Prime Minister plans electoral manipulation, the Home Minister operationalizes it, and the CEC implements it, describing these actions as an attack on the Constitution. In Assam, leaders Bhupesh Baghel and Gaurav Gogoi expanded these allegations following the Nagaon Lok Sabha by-election and Silchar Municipal Corporation elections. They accused the BJP of rigging, EVM hacking, and using intimidation to force polling agents from booths. Baghel characterized recent electoral outcomes as a “victory of theft.” The party has planned a “Vote Bachao, Desh Bachao” rally in Delhi to address these concerns. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-27: Congress leaders allege electoral malpractice in Assam Congress leaders Bhupesh Baghel and Gaurav Gogoi have accused the BJP of vote theft, rigging, and EVM hacking during recent elections in Assam. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/congress-leaders-allege-electoral-malpractice-in-assam ### 2026-10-17: Rahul Gandhi accuses Modi, Shah, and CEC of vote theft in Goa During the conclusion of the ‘Goy Rakhon Yatra’ in Goa, Rahul Gandhi accused PM Modi, Amit Shah, and CEC Gyanesh Kumar of orchestrating “vote theft” and attacking the Indian Constitution. 14 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/rahul-gandhi-to-join-goy-rakhonn-yatra-culmination-in-goa --- Cite as: Indian National Congress electoral malpractice allegations.
