New Delhi: Rahul Gandhi refused to sign an oath announcement, supporting his “vote-chary” allegations against the Election Commission of India, despite repeated calls from the election body.Saying that the documents he cited for his “vote theft” claims, the Congress leader called it a “one man, one vote” and questioned the situation of democracy, given that “300 MPs” were denied a meeting with voting.Their comment came after the release of Delhi Police during the protest of the EC office during the protest march of India block.“Why should I sign an oath? This is their data, not mine. They should take it from their website. They are simply attracting attention. And no one should think that it happened only in Bengaluru; it happened in many constituencies. Today, the Election Commission is trying to hide something, but I want to tell you that one day, everything will come out,” he said.“Look at the status of democracy of India. 300 MPs wanted to meet the Election Commission to present a document, but they were not allowed. They are scared. What if 300 MPs come and their truth comes out? This fight is not political.EC, on Monday, again pressurized Gandhi to either present a signed announcement or “apologize to the country”.On August 7, Gandhi said that internal analysis had estimated 16 Lok Sabha seats for the Congress in Karnataka, but the party won only nine. While investigating the seven surprised defeat, he pointed to Mahadevpura, which was accused of “vote theft”, which included 100,250 ballots.“We stole 100,250 votes in five different ways. Duplicate voters, fake and invalid addresses, and wholesale voters in the same address in a building with 50-60 people, but when we go there, there is no record of people living there. A family living in that house,” Rahul Gandhi said.
