Rahul drops 'atom bomb' of allegations, but can't produce single explosive proof: BJP MP PC Mohan
Bengaluru, Aug 7 (PTI): Rahul Gandhi drops an "atom bomb" of allegations, but can't produce a single explosive proof, BJP MP of Bangalore Central parliamentary constituency, P C Mohan, said on Thursday.
It is in the Mahadevapura Assembly segment of his constituency, Congress leader claims, that 1,00,250 votes were "stolen".
Mohan said, BJP won in Mahadevapura, a Hindu-dominated segment, because Hindus voted decisively against dynasty, appeasement, and entitlement.
Earlier in the day, Rahul Gandhi cited an analysis of data from Bangalore Central Lok Sabha constituency to make claims of "huge criminal fraud" in 2024 polls, perpetrated by the BJP through the Election Commission.
The Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha said that the Congress analysed the voter data of the Lok Sabha constituency of Bangalore Central and the Mahadevapura Assembly segment in it. He claimed that approximately 1,00,250 votes were "stolen" in the Mahadevapura assembly segment.
"Rahul Gandhi drops an atom bomb of allegations, but still can't produce a single explosive proof. If 1,00,250 votes were stolen in Mahadevapura, why wasn't a case filed in court within 45 days instead of holding a press conference one year later? This is just another drama," Mohan said.
Noting that electoral rolls are prepared as per the Representation of the People (RP) Act, 1950, and the Rules,1960, in a series of posts on 'X', he said, "Draft rolls (Special Summary Revision 2024) were shared with Congress in November 2024. Not a single appeal was filed after the final publication. Now, after losing Bangalore Central, they cry at a press conference about vote theft."
By alleging 1,00,250 votes were stolen in Mahadevapura, Rahul Gandhi has insulted the people of Bangalore Central, especially thousands of Hindus who voted for the BJP, the MP said, "To him, any minority-heavy seat must belong to Congress. The problem is not fraud. The problem is the verdict."
"Rahul Gandhi is alleging 1,00,250 votes were stolen in Mahadevapura, a Hindu-dominated seat, not in Shivajinagar, which is minority-dominated. When Hindus vote BJP, it's called fraud. When minorities vote Congress, it's called secularism. This hypocrisy won't fool voters anymore," he said.
Let's be clear, BJP didn't win Mahadevapura through manipulation, Mohan said, "We won because Hindus voted decisively against dynasty, appeasement, and entitlement. Rahul Gandhi must learn: minority-dominated constituencies are not Congress property. The voter is supreme. Accept the mandate."
Speaking to reporters in Delhi, earlier in the day, Gandhi cited that in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP secured 6,58,915 votes in the Bangalore Central seat, winning with a margin of 32,707.
"In the Mahadevapura assembly segment, the Congress received 1,15,586 votes, whereas the BJP garnered 2,29,632 votes.
"The Congress won all the Vidhan Sabhas except Mahadevapura, where the BJP swept and secured a victory margin of 1,14,046 votes. This seat significantly contributed to their election win, and the Lok Sabha result went in their favour on that seat," he said.
"This discrepancy is a huge imbalance. So, we (Congress) started examining the details and discovered that approximately 1,00,250 votes were stolen in the Mahadevapura Assembly segment," he claimed.
Rahul alleged there was a "theft" of 1,00,250 votes in the Mahadevapura segment, with 11,965 duplicate voters in the segment, 40,009 voters with fake and invalid addresses, 10,452 bulk voters or single address voters, 4,132 voters with invalid photos and 33,692 voters misusing Form 6 of new voters.

Delhi: Father, son held for killing 19-year-old woman in suspected honour killing
New Delhi (PTI): The Delhi Police has arrested a man and his son for allegedly murdering his 19-year-old daughter in west Delhi's Hari Nagar area, an official said on Friday.
The case first came to light on April 1 after a PCR call was received around 2 pm, alleging that a woman had been killed by her family members and her body was being taken for last rites, he said.
The accused, identified as Mohammad Maneer (55), a vegetable vendor, and his son Meraj Ali (19), were arrested in connection with the case, the officer said.
The victim had been in a relationship with a man from her native place for the past two years, which was opposed by her father, Maneer and brother Meraj, he said.
"When the girl did not end the relationship despite objections, the family killed her," the officer said.
On April 1, the police said that when their team reached the spot, they found that the woman's body was being taken for burial.
Acting on the input, the burial process was stopped over suspicion of honour killing.
"Police intercepted the family members and took possession of the body," he said.
Police said that the man who had made the PCR told them that the woman was in love with his cousin.
During the inquiry, police also interacted with the PCR caller, who said his cousin, a friend of the deceased, had informed him about the situation and suspected foul play, prompting him to alert the police control room.
The body of the woman was subsequently shifted to the mortuary of Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital for preservation and postmortem.
Police said that both the crime team and the forensic science laboratory (FSL) team were called to inspect the scene and collect evidence.
Police said that, as per the postmortem report, the cause of death was identified as smothering, indicating that the woman was suffocated.
A preliminary inquiry also revealed that the family had initiated preparations for the last rites soon after the woman's death, raising suspicion about the circumstances.
Initial investigation pointed to the family's opposition to the woman's relationship.
"The family members of the woman saw her with the man, and she was taken back home. We got to know that she was beaten up and even locked inside the house for some days," a source said.
Further investigation into the matter is underway, police added.
