Congress leader and Lok Sabha Opposition Leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday levelled a string of explosive allegations against the BJP and the Election Commission, claiming that “India’s democracy has been stolen through large-scale voter fraud,” what he earlier referred to as the ‘hydrogen bomb’.

Addressing a press conference at the AICC headquarters in New Delhi, Gandhi said the Congress’ internal investigation in Haryana had unearthed massive irregularities in electoral rolls and voting patterns, which he alleged were part of a centrally-orchestrated plan to convert a ‘landslide Congress victory into a loss.’

Gandhi claimed that a forensic analysis of electoral data from Haryana revealed 25 lakh fake voters, or about 12.5 percent of the total electorate.
