<h5>A Big Claim</h5><p>Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition, has said that the Election Commission of India (ECI) and the BJP were part of “vote chori” (vote theft) in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. He said that in Bengaluru’s Mahadevapura area, there were more than 1 lakh fake voters. He claimed this could have changed who won.</p><p>The Election Commission said these charges are not true. They called them “baseless” and told Rahul Gandhi to give proof under oath or say sorry.</p><h5>What is a Voter List?</h5><p>A voter list is an official paper with the names of people who can vote. It has their names, addresses, and photos. Only people on this list are allowed to vote.</p><p>Rahul Gandhi said there were problems in the list. He said some people’s names were written more than once, some had fake names with wrong addresses, many people were shown living in one very small house, and some old people were wrongly added as “first-time voters.” If true, this means some votes may not have been real.</p><h5>Why Is This Serious?</h5><p>Elections are the base of democracy. If voter lists are wrong, the result may not show what people really wanted. For example, if 1 lakh fake names are added, it can change who wins in a close fight.</p><p>Such claims can make people doubt if elections are fair. In India, which is the world’s largest democracy, trust in elections is very important.</p><h5>What Did Officials Say?</h5><p>The Election Commission checked Gandhi’s claims. They said the papers he showed were wrong. For example, Gandhi said one woman voted two times, but officials said she voted only once. They also said his papers were not official.</p><p>Election officers asked him to give proof under oath. So far, he has not done that. Without proof, the Commission says the claims cannot be accepted.</p><h5>Looking Ahead</h5><p>This has now become a big political fight. The Supreme Court has also been asked to check the matter.</p><p>Whatever happens, the case shows why voter lists must be correct. In a democracy, every vote matters, and safe elections mean people’s voices are safe.</p>
