'Khara hoon aaj bhi wahin': JP Nadda mocks Rahul Gandhi's 'vote chori' claim; shares video

NEW DELHI: Bharatiya Janata Party national president JP Nadda on Tuesday mocked leader of opposition Rahul Gandhi's "vote chori" claim as he reposted a video on X that termed it a "scripted PR".The video showed a snippet from Rahul's ongoing 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' where a woman complaints about names of six of her family members being deleted from the EC's special intensive revision (SIR) draft roll.

Later in the video, the woman claims that she was asked to make those claims at the yatra."Rahul Gandhi’s Vote Chori is turning into a PR Disaster. First, EC gave him a 7-day ultimatum with all facts. Now, people are exposing him left & right: “It was scripted PR, we said it but our names are in the voters list” Another apology from Rahul is loading," the video caption said.

Earlier in the day, BJP IT cell chief Amit Malviya targeted Rahul after psephologist Sanjay Kumar apologised for sharing incorrect voter data related to the Maharashtra elections."The very institution whose data Rahul Gandhi leaned on to defame the voters of Maharashtra has now admitted that its figures were wrong — not just on Maharashtra, but even on SIR. Where does this leave Rahul Gandhi and the Congress, which brazenly targeted the Election Commission and went so far as to brand genuine voters as fake? Shameful," he said."Rahul Gandhi must immediately abandon his “घुसपैठिया बचाओ यात्रा” in Bihar and tender an unconditional apology to the people of India for his callous and regressive politics," he added.

The ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’ set off from Sasaram on Sunday, marking the start of a 16-day campaign against the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the voter list in Bihar and allegations of “vote theft.” Traversing over 1,300 km across more than 20 districts, the march will culminate in Patna on September 1.
