Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday said his party will soon release a “hydrogen bomb” of evidence on alleged voter fraud, claiming that after the disclosure, Prime Minister Narendra Modi would “not be able to show his face to the country”.

Speaking at the concluding event of his Voter Adhikar Yatra in Patna, Gandhi reiterated his allegations that votes were “stolen” in Maharashtra during the Assembly election and in Karnataka’s Bangalore Central Lok Sabha constituency during the 2024 parliamentary elections.

He added that his party had shown how “vote theft” had taken place in the Mahadevapura Assembly segment of the Bangalore Central Lok Sabha constituency.

Reacting to Gandhi’s latest remarks, BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad called the leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha “irresponsible”.

“Whenever I listen to Rahul Gandhi, inside or outside Parliament, it takes time to understand what he is trying to say,” Prasad said, “…How are atom bombs and hydrogen bombs related to elections? Why are you [Gandhi] demeaning yourself as the leader of the opposition?”

On August 7, Gandhi said that his party had spent six months examining the electoral rolls in Mahadevapura Assembly segment and found discrepancies in more than one lakh names.

He alleged that this was evidence of the Election Commission having colluded with the Bharatiya Janata Party.

The Congress leader claimed that the electoral rolls included 11,965 duplicate entries, 40,009 voters with fake or invalid addresses, 10,454 “bulk voters” registered in a single address, 4,132 voters with invalid photographs and 33,692 voters in whose cases there had allegedly been misuse of Form 6.

The Election Commission’s Form 6 is an application document for registering new voters.

Gandhi and the Congress have also repeatedly alleged that there was “industrial-scale rigging involving the capture of our national institutions” in the Maharashtra polls held in November.

The BJP-led alliance had defeated the Maha Vikas Aghadi coalition, which includes the Congress, in the polls.

The Election Commission, however, has rejected these allegations. On August 14, it described Gandhi’s claims regarding Mahadevapura as “false and misleading”. Earlier, in February, it had called attempts to malign the Commission by parties disappointed with poll results “completely absurd”.
