New Delhi: Rahul Gandhi and AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge will address the media in a press conference to be held at the Indira Bhavan at 1 pm on Wednesday. The Congress leaders are also expected to release documents in connection with the alleged ‘vote chori’.

The Congress leader, who has held two press conferences earlier to speak on the matter, had also claimed that a ‘hydrogen bomb’ would be dropped in the press conference to be held on Wednesday.

The Congress has claimed to have valid documents and evidence of voters across India being deprived of their right to ballot by various means, including addition of false information in their details and deletion of names in the voters lists.

The Congress and other parties in the INDIA bloc have accused the Election Commission of India (ECI) of not only neglecting the flaws in the voters lists, but also adding mistakes of its own accord.

The Opposition parties have also called the ECI a puppet in the hands of the Central government, stating that the ‘mishandling’ of the lists was done at the behest of the Centre.

Rahul Gandhi is expected to continue his attack on the ECI and the Central government for the problems in the voters lists. He is expected to release several bundles of documents to present as evidence of the problems in the voters lists.
