After levelling allegations of tampered electronic
voting machines across polls in the country, the Congress has made
another shocking accusation regarding electoral fraud. The Grand Old
Party has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of trying to
influence the upcoming Madhya
Pradesh Assembly election 2018 by enrolling close to 6
million (60 lakh) fake voters in the state's voters list.
Responding to the allegations, the Election Commission of India (EC) has ordered a probe into the matter. EC teams will reach the state, which is slated to go to polls later this year, on Monday to look into allegation levelled by Congress.
Madhya Pradesh Congress chief Kamal Nath has alleged that these names "have been deliberately registered" in the voter rolls, adding that his party's allegations were not over "administrative negligence" but about "administrative misuse" by the BJP. Kamal Nath on Sunday led a Congress delegation to meet EC officials over the allegations.
What exactly is the Congress accusing the BJP of?
Kamal Nath said that the Congress has "given proof to the EC" that the voters' list of Madhya Pradesh is "fraudulent". The state party chief has also said that the Congress has carried out its "own enquiry in 100 constituencies".
According to Nath, the Congress has found cases of one voter being enlisted in different constituencies "with the same name, address and father's name". According to the Congress leader, "this cannot be any mistake".
