Indian opposition leader Rahul Gandhi accuses BJP, RSS, and Election Commission of treason over electoral roll changes

On September 23, 2026, in New Delhi, India, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi accused the BJP, RSS, and Election Commission of treason over alleged "vote chori" (vote theft), calling it a direct attack on the Constitution. His statement followed a report that two Election Commissioners, Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi, had formally objected 14 times to decisions on electoral roll revisions. Gandhi warned that justice would be served, and the opposition has demanded the removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
