I think even Congress party is not taking Rahul Gandhi seriously: Arjun Ram Meghwal

Union Minister Meghwal dismisses Rahul Gandhi's vote theft allegations, questioning Congress's election wins while accusing them of defaming constitutional institutions.

"I think even the Congress party is not taking Rahul Gandhi seriously - Arjun Ram Meghwal"

Prayagraj, September 19

Union Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal on Friday criticised Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over his allegations of vote theft and said that even the Congress party doesn't seem to take him seriously.

Meghwal added that the Election Commission has already addressed the issues raised by Congress and questioned whether the party is trying to defame constitutional institutions.

Speaking to the reporters, Arjun Ram Meghwal said, "... Election Commission has given answers to all their questions. I think even the Congress party is not taking Rahul Gandhi seriously. I can't understand what he's trying to say... How did Congress win 99 seats in the 2024 elections? Have they taken the onus of defaming our constitutional organisations?..."

On Thursday, Congress MP and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi held a press conference in New Delhi and accused Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar of protecting "people who are destroying Indian democracy".

Although the Congress leader clarified that the so-called 'Hydrogen Bomb' was still expected, he claimed that a "certain group of people" are systematically cutting the votes of minority groups who specifically vote for the Congress.

The Congress leader further claimed that atleast 6 thousand votes have been deleted in the Aland Assembly constituency segment in Karnataka. Earlier, in a previous press conference, Rahul Gandhi had alleged that the assembly segment of Mahadevpura in the same state also had fraud votes.

"In Aland, Karnataka, 6018 votes, somebody tried to delete these votes. We don't know the total number of votes deleted in 2023 elections, but somebody got caught. It was caught, by most crimes, by a coincidence. What happened was that the Booth Level officer noticed that her uncle's vote has been deleted. When she checked she saw that her neighbour had deleted the vote," he added.

While I don't always agree with Rahul Gandhi, we must take electoral integrity seriously. If there are genuine concerns about vote deletion, they should be properly investigated regardless of which party raises them.

The real question is - if Congress won 99 seats despite alleged fraud, doesn't that mean they would have won even more without it? Both sides need to stop playing politics with our democratic institutions.

Instead of personal attacks, we need constructive dialogue. Election Commission should transparently address specific allegations about vote deletion in Karnataka. Democracy works when institutions are trusted by all parties.

As an observer, it's concerning when political leaders question electoral integrity without substantial proof. But equally concerning when such concerns are dismissed without proper investigation. Balance is needed.

The "hydrogen bomb" comment shows how unserious Rahul Gandhi can be. But Meghwal ji shouldn't dismiss genuine concerns about electoral rolls. Many voters have faced issues with missing names - this needs systematic solution, not politics.
