The Election Commission of India (ECI) in a quick response to debut Rahul Gandhi’s yet another 'voter deletion' charge on Thursday, said all the allegations by the Leader of Opposition (LoP) in Lok Sabha are 'incorrect' and 'baseless'.
In his latest allegation, Rahul Gandhi alleged that voters especially from the Congress' booths, and communities, who preferably were their voters, deleted using software.
Gandhi alleged that over 6,000 votes were deleted alone from the Aland constituency in Karnataka.
"Allegations made by Rahul Gandhi are incorrect and baseless. No deletion of any vote can be done online by any member of the public, as misconceived by Rahul Gandhi," it said.
The poll panel said in 2023, certain unsuccessful attempts were made for deletion of electors in Aland Assembly constituency and an FIR was filled by authorities of the ECI itself to investigate the matter.
"As per records, Aland Assembly constituency was won by Subhadh Guttedar (BJP) in 2018 and BR Patil (Congress) in 2023," the Commission said.
