Fight for Indian democracy: Priyanka Gandhi Vadra tells gathering at mega rally against ‘vote theft’
New Delhi: Congress leader and Wayanad MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has called upon Indians to stand up and fight against the destruction of every democratic institution in the country.
The MP, who was speaking at the much awaited mega rally of the Congress against ‘vote theft’ organized at the Ramlila Maidan in the national capital on Sunday, challenged the ruling party to contest elections without using electronic voting machines (EVMs). “I challenge BJP to contest polls on ballot paper, they know they will never win,” she said.
Blaming the Election Commission (EC) for turning a blind eye to the violation of the model code of conduct during the elections by the BJP, Gandhi Vadra alleged that the EC was thereby hand-in-glove with the ruling party in ‘vote theft’. She asked if shutting eyes to the payment of Rs 10,000 during elections was not an act of ‘vote theft’ by the EC.
Expressing her fury that the elections in the country are not being conducted properly, the Congress leader asked the members and supporters of the Congress not to lose heart over losing the Bihar elections. “The entire country knows that the BJP won it through vote theft’,” she added.

Will of people supreme, says Mahua Moitra after BJP's landslide victory in Bengal
Kolkata (PTI): A day after the Trinamool Congress faced a drubbing by the BJP in the West Bengal assembly elections, TMC MP Mohua Moitra on Tuesday said her party respects the mandate as the will of the people is supreme.
She also said that the party will continue the fight for a “secular country”.
In a post on X, Moitra said, “The will of the people is supreme. If Bengal wanted BJP, then Bengal has got BJP. We respect that.”
The BJP on Monday scripted history by winning 206 seats to secure more than a two-thirds majority in the West Bengal assembly polls, ending the TMC’s 15-year rule.
"We fought the good fight against unimaginable odds on an uneven pitch and for that I am proud of my leader & my party," Moitra said.
She said the TMC will continue to stand and fight for a secular country where the constitution, and "not brute majoritarianism, is the last word”.
