Karnataka Govt Survey Puts Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Vote Chori’ Claim In Spotlight

Rahul Gandhi’s ‘vote chori’ allegation has come under scrutiny after a survey by the Karnataka Monitoring and Evaluation Authority showed overwhelming public trust in India’s electoral process. The survey, conducted after the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, found that 91.31% of respondents believe elections in India are free and fair, while 83.61% expressed trust in EVMs, with Kalaburagi recording the highest confidence levels. The findings come at a time when the Karnataka government has proposed using ballot papers for local body elections. The Congress claims the survey was commissioned by the Election Commission, even as the BJP targets the party, demanding proof of alleged vote theft.
