Gujarat Congress alleges 30,000 fake voters in Union Minister C R Patil’s stronghold, claims 62 lakh statewide
Party president Amit Chavda claimed that his team had found 30,000 fake voters in Navsari alone, warning that if the entire state were to be investigated, the number of bogus entries could rise to 62 lakh.
AHMEDABAD: Gujarat Congress has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of widespread voter list manipulation in Navsari, the constituency of state BJP president and Union Minister C.R. Patil.
Party president Amit Chavda claimed that his team had found 30,000 fake voters in Navsari alone, warning that if the entire state were to be investigated, the number of bogus entries could rise to 62 lakh.
He linked these irregularities to the BJP’s “record-breaking victories,” calling it “nothing less than vote theft” and vowed to launch a statewide campaign to “save democracy.”
Addressing a press conference on Saturday, Chavda stated, “We checked Navsari’s electoral rolls and found 30,000 fake voters. If this happens in one seat, what could be happening across Gujarat?” He further tied his claim to Opposition Leader Rahul Gandhi’s recent Lok Sabha presentation, which had highlighted irregularities in electoral rolls nationwide.
