New Delhi:
Congress MP Rahul Gandhi - who recently promised a 'vote chori' hydrogen bomb' to expose alleged collusion between the BJP and Election Commission regarding voter fraud - delivered his strongest criticism of the poll body to date. However, this was not the 'hydrogen bomb' revelation he previously indicated.
Using a detailed PowerPoint presentation, Mr. Gandhi leveled a serious accusation at the EC and Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, claiming the systematic mass deletion of voters from Congress strongholds before the 2023 Karnataka election.
He clarified that this presentation wasn't the promised 'hydrogen bomb' revelation, which is still being prepared. "In a short while we will show you the 'hydrogen bomb'... the preparation is still going on. I told my team that if I have to go on stage then I need black-and-white proof, or I won't go."
"I need proof that nobody can refuse or negate. Then I will go," Mr. Gandhi emphasized.

Gandhi asserted his presentation provided "100 per cent evidence that cannot be doubted" to the gathered reporters. "You have seen it with your own eyes... EC now has to release data within a week. Otherwise we will know for sure Gyanesh Kumar is protecting the people destroying the Constitution."
The 'Hydrogen Bomb' Promise was made on September 1 during the conclusion of the 'voter adhikar' rally in Bihar, a joint campaign with Rashtriya Janata Dal allies before the state's upcoming election.
The Congress-RJD led Mahagathbandhan alliance has contested the EC's 'special intensive revision' of Bihar's electoral roll, claiming it aims to disenfranchise their supporters. The rally sought to raise awareness about this issue.

At the rally's conclusion, Mr. Gandhi stated, "We will not let them murder the Constitution... that is why we took out the yatra and we got a tremendous response. And I want to tell the BJP... have you heard of anything bigger than an atom bomb? BJP people, be ready, a hydrogen bomb is coming."
He reiterated this warning last week, telling reporters, "To the people of the BJP who are getting agitated, I say 'don't... when the hydrogen bomb comes, everything will be clear'."

The BJP responded swiftly, criticizing Gandhi's statements as "demeaning himself" and insulting voters. Former Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad commented, "Whenever I listen to Rahul Gandhi, inside or outside Parliament, it takes time to understand what he is trying to say... How are the atom bomb and the hydrogen bomb related to elections? Rahul Gandhi is irresponsible."
