Congress to Hold Massive Protest in Bengaluru on August 5 Against Vote Rigging, Rahul Gandhi to Participate

(Fast Mail):--The Congress party has announced a massive protest in Bengaluru, Karnataka, on August 5 to address alleged vote rigging and discrepancies in voter lists.

The event will see participation from Rahul Gandhi, the state’s Chief Minister, Deputy Chief Minister, several ministers, and all Congress MLAs.

The party claims there was manipulation of votes and irregularities in the voter list during the Lok Sabha elections.

Karnataka Minister N. Cheluvarayaswamy, speaking at a press conference in Mandya, stated that at least 5,000 Congress workers from Mandya district alone will join the protest.

He highlighted that Rahul Gandhi has expressed deep concern over the issue. The Congress conducted a six-month booth-wise investigation of voter lists, uncovering a large number of fake voters.

Cheluvarayaswamy further said, "Rahul Gandhi had previously raised this issue in Parliament, pointing out discrepancies in voter lists from Gandhinagar to Bengaluru. Particularly in the Mahadevapura Assembly constituency, there is a significant difference between the voter lists of the Assembly and Lok Sabha elections."

While permission for the protest was initially denied, it has now been granted, and the demonstration will take place at Freedom Park, Bengaluru, starting at 11 AM, with a focus on youth participation.

The Congress has also lodged a complaint with the Election Commission.The minister also expressed concern over farmer suicides in the state, stating, "We introduced five guarantee schemes to prevent suicides, yet some cases are still occurring. Investigations are now underway by the police and a private agency."

Regarding the Dharmasthala case, he noted that an SIT investigation has begun, and debates during the probe are normal. The matter will be clarified once the report is released.
