Rahul Gandhi accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah and Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar of coordinating alleged “vote chori”, or vote theft, according to a headline published by The New Indian Express on October 18. Gandhi alleged that Modi devised the plan, Shah organised its execution and the chief election commissioner carried it out.

Only the outlet’s headline was accessible, not the full article. It does not establish the accusation or provide supporting evidence, the setting of Gandhi’s remarks, or responses from those accused. BharatVox has not independently verified the allegation.
