Hyderabad: Telangana BJP chief N Ramchander Rao on Monday said Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is misleading people with his allegations of "vote theft", claiming that he had failed to provide evidence to substantiate his claims.
Telangana BJP chief said the Election Commission of India and the Supreme Court had repeatedly clarified matters related to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, asserting that there had been no forced deletions or vote theft.
Speaking to ANI, Rao said, "In spite of the Election Commission of India and the Supreme Court repeatedly clarifying matters related to the SIR, they have made it clear that there have been no forced deletions and no vote theft."
"Rahul Gandhi has also failed to produce any proof, either before the people, the President of India, or the Supreme Court. Therefore, Rahul Gandhi's repeated claims of vote theft are merely an attempt to mislead the people. In fact, they are the real thieves because they have stolen the Gandhi name, which they are using illegally," he added.
His remarks come amid continued protests by Opposition parties, INDIA bloc and activists against the Election Commission's SIR exercise.
