Vote theft is a treasonous crime! Rahul Gandhi launches a scathing attack on the ink scam in Maharashtra; faith in democracy lost!
Rahul Gandhi: Calling vote theft a treasonous crime, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi strongly criticized the ink controversy in the Maharashtra elections. He accused the Election Commission of misleading citizens and stated that faith in democracy has been completely lost.
The issue of erasable ink used on voting day in the Maharashtra municipal elections has heated up the political atmosphere. Rahul Gandhi targeted the Election Commission on the social media platform 'X', mentioning this incident. He said, "The way the Election Commission is gaslighting the citizens, it has completely eroded faith in democracy. Vote theft is a treasonous crime."
In this case, videos went viral showing that the ink applied to voters' fingers in Mumbai and other cities could be easily erased. Opposition leaders have attacked the administration over this. Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) party chief Uddhav Thackeray demanded the suspension of State Election Commissioner Dinesh Waghmare, calling it a murder of democracy. MNS chief Raj Thackeray also criticized the issue.
The Election Commission responded to these allegations and ordered an inquiry. Commissioner Waghmare said, "Since 2011, we have been using ink in the form of marker pens. The claim that it can be erased is false. However, action will be taken against those spreading rumors." The commission clarified that even if the ink is erased, the voting record is maintained in writing, so double voting is not possible.
This controversy has now reached the national level, and it is likely to be discussed in Parliament. This issue has created sharp differences of opinion among political parties in Maharashtra.
