When the Congress was in power at the Centre, bogus voting was common, said Opposition Leader R Ashoka.

"In Padmanabhanagar, I got 57,000 votes, but 20,000 more should have come. However, Muslims were brought from elsewhere and added here,” the BJP leader said in a press conference. “

The revenue department conducts all elections. When everyone is from the Congress government, how can irregularities happen? In the past, when Congress was in power everywhere, bogus voting was common. They used to carry away ballot boxes. Dacoits like Phoolan Devi ran the show. Rahul Gandhi seems to want that kind of election now."

"In some states, Congress leaders have been arrested for fraudulent voting practices. In Bengaluru's Gandhinagar, there are 18 Muslim voters in a single small house. How is it possible for so many voters to be in one house? In Nagavara ward of Sarvagnanagar constituency, the Congress MP received 5,965 more votes than their MLA,” he said.

“How did Congress get so many extra votes? In HBR Layout, the MP got 3,646 more votes than the MLA, and in Kadugondanahalli, 3,432 extra votes were recorded. Who added all these votes? As soon as they lose, they claim the Election Commission is at fault.”

"Rahul Gandhi hasn't dropped a bomb; it's just a dud firecracker,” he remarked. Similarly, BJP State President BY Vijayendra termed the move a political gimmick.

"Rahul claims that the surveys showed that Congress would win 16 seats but no survey had ever claimed so. Only some fools in Congress would have told Rahul Gandhi that Congress would win 16 seats," he alleged.
