Rahul Gandhi has launched a scathing attack on India’s electoral system in the Lok Sabha, calling voting fraud the “biggest anti-national act.” He questioned the role of PM Modi and Amit Shah in appointing the Election Commission Chief and highlighted key reforms, including machine-readable voter lists, transparency in EVMs, and stricter oversight of election officials. Gandhi also accused the Election Commission of allowing the Haryana election theft and emphasized that India’s democracy is built on the power of the vote.

00:00I'd like to conclude by saying that the biggest anti-national act you can do is vote-chory.
00:06There is no bigger anti-national act that you can do than vote-chory.
00:13Because when you destroy the vote, you destroy the fabric of this country.
00:20You destroy modern India, you destroy the idea of India.
00:25So I'd like to conclude by saying vote-chory is an anti-national act.
00:31And those across the aisle are doing an anti-national act.
00:36Raul Gandhi.
00:46Thank you, Speaker Sir, for letting me speak on this really.
00:56Important matter.
01:03Speaker Sir, have you ever wondered why Mahatma Gandhi laid such emphasis on Khadi?
01:16Why was it that he framed the entire Indian freedom struggle around the concept of Khadi?
01:28And why is it that he only wore Khadi?
01:38Because Khadi is not just a cloth.
01:46Khadi is the expression of the people of India.
01:52It is the imagination.
01:55It is the sentiment.
01:58It is the productive force of the people of Khadi.
02:03It is the expression of the people of India.
02:12Speaker Sir, whichever state you go to, you will find different fabrics.
02:23There is the Himachali cap.
02:29Assamese, Gamcha, Banarsi saree, Kanchi puram saree, Naga jacket.
02:39And you will find that all these fabrics represent the people.
02:48When the people of Assam give you the Gamcha, they're not just giving you a piece of cloth.
02:58They're giving you an expression.
03:01They're giving you a piece of their history, their tradition, their future, their imagination.
03:07It's the same when the Nagas wear their jacket.
03:18When they come and see us, they make us wear the jacket.
03:23Because they want us to be embraced by the fabric.
03:30But Speaker Sir, these fabrics are beautiful.
03:33But if you look slightly deeper, and you look closely at the fabric, you will find that each
03:46one of them has thousands of little threads embracing each other.
03:59A Kanchi puram saree might have a golden thread.
04:01But the golden thread means nothing without the green thread, or the yellow thread near it.
04:12The other thing to notice about the Sadi, or any other fabric, is that all the threads are equal.
04:25No one thread is superior to another thread.
04:28They all come together.
04:29The threads cannot protect you.
04:33The threads cannot keep you warm.
04:36But when they come together, as a fabric, they can keep you warm.
04:42They can protect you.
04:43They can express what you have in the heart.
04:48Speaker Sir, in the same way, our nation is also a fabric.
04:55It's a fabric made up of 1.4 billion people, and the fabric is woven together by the vote.
05:07Let me repeat it.
05:09It is a fabric of 1.5 billion people, and it is woven together by the vote.
05:19Everything that we see, in fact, this house where I'm standing today, the Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha, Vidhan Sabhas across the country, panchayats across the country, none of them would exist if the vote did not exist.
05:42We talk about, we talk about, we talk with great pride about HAL, BHEL, ONGC, Tejas, Chandrayaan.
05:55Now, we have a list of things we say, not one of those would exist without the vote.
06:04Speaker Sir, it is the idea that every thread, every person in the Union of India is equal that disturbs my friends in the RSS.
06:29They are happy to see the fabric, but they cannot stand the idea that every single person in the fabric of our country, regardless of what religion they come from, regardless of what community they come from, regardless of what language they speak, should be equal.
06:48Because they fundamentally do not believe in equality.
06:54They believe in a hierarchy, and they believe that they should be on top of that hierarchy.
07:00Speaker Sir, on the 30th of January 1948, three bullets pierced the chest of Mahatma Gandhi.
07:19Now, Nathuram Ghatsi, Nathuram Ghatsi, assassinated the father of our nation.
07:27Today, our friends do not embrace him.
07:38Today, our friends have pushed him away.
07:46He's an uncomfortable truth.
07:49But that's not where the project ended.
07:54You see, as I said, everything has emerged from the vote.
08:00All the institutions have emerged from the vote.
08:04So, it's obvious that the RSS has to capture all the institutions that have emerged from the vote.
08:15So, the project, after Gandhiji's assassination, the next step of the project was the wholesale capture of India's institutional framework.
08:28So, what is this?
08:49Sir?
08:52Sir?
08:56Sir?
09:01I am doing a new Conrad.
09:02I am calling.
09:03Please, sit.
09:05Please, sit.
09:06Please, sit.
09:09So.
09:10Sir?
09:12Sir, these are uncomfortable truths, but they have to be spoken.
09:30Sir, these are uncomfortable truths, but they have to be spoken.
09:49My friends don't like the connections I'm making.
09:52They're disturbed by them.
09:54It's obvious.
09:55So after the father of the nation was assassinated, his vision of an equal India, of an India
10:10where institutions belong to the people had to be destroyed.
10:16And so the process started and the RSS attempted to capture one institution after the other.
10:27And I will give some examples so that it is crystal clear that this is the case.
10:33Everybody knows how vice chancellors are placed on top of Indian universities today.
10:39Every single person knows this.
10:41You go to any university, you speak to any youngster in India, he will tell you that it
10:48does not matter whether the professor has qualifications.
10:53It does not matter whether the professor has a scientific temperament.
10:57The only thing that matters is the professor belongs.
11:09Mr. Sir, hi, sir!
11:14Mr. Sir, I am speaking!
11:24Mr. Sir, we want to listen to you!
11:30Mr. Sir, you want to listen in the chat?
11:36Mr. Sir, I am speaking!

12:32should I leave?
12:42Should I leave?
12:57Should I leave?
12:58You speak then.
12:59You speak.
13:00What is that you are parliamentary affairs minister?
13:02You are a parliamentary affairs minister.
13:07You are a parliamentary affairs minister.
13:14The discussion is about the vote and electoral.
13:30The discussion is about the vote.
13:33The discussion is about the vote.
13:48The discussion is about the vote.
13:53I want to make it very clear.
14:18Please.
14:19Please.
14:20Because I want to make it very clear.
14:22The discussion is about votes.
14:26The discussion is about the stealing of votes.
14:30The discussion is about the SIR.
14:32And I am framing my discussion about votes.
14:36And what is happening here is patently unfair.
14:40I am not being allowed to speak.
14:42I am being disturbed.
14:43And I put my protest here.
14:46I have done absolutely nothing wrong.
14:50I am talking about the subject.
14:52In order to capture the vote, you have to capture institutions.
14:56I am saying that institutions of India are captured.
15:00And I will come to the point which is election commission is captured.
15:06So the project of the RSS was to capture the institutional framework of the country.
15:14And I said how the education system has been captured.
15:18Vice Chancellor after Vice Chancellor after Vice Chancellor is placed not on merit, not on capability, not on scientific temper.
15:28And the fact that he belongs to a particular organization.
15:32Second capture, which helps in destroying democracy.
15:38The capture of the intelligence agencies.
15:41We have the home minister sitting here.
15:43The capture of the CBI, of the ED, of the income tax department.
15:49And the systematic placement of bureaucrats who favor their ideology and attack the opposition and anybody who chooses to oppose the RSS.
16:01That is the second institutional capture.
16:03And the third institute, there are many more.
16:05I can go on.
16:07And the third institutional capture.
16:09The third institute, there are many more.
16:19What is this?
16:20Sir Minister.
16:21Maneye, please.
16:24Please Maneye.
16:25Yes, become Samayi.
16:27And the third election, the third capture of the institution that directly controls
16:56the election system of our country, the election commission.
17:02Now, I'm not saying this without proof.
17:07I have put forth adequate proof about how the election commission is colluding,
17:16is colluding with those in power to shape the elections.
17:23But I want to ask three questions first, which will make it very clear that the BJP is directing
17:35and using the election commission to damage India's democracy.
17:42The first question, why is it that the CJI was removed from the selection panel of the
17:52election commissioner?
17:55What motivation could there be to remove the CJI?
17:59Do we not believe in the CJI?
18:01Of course, we believe in the CJI.
18:03Why is he not in that room?
18:05I sit in that room.
18:09It is so-called a democratic decision.
18:12On one side, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Mr. Amit Shah.
18:16On the other side, the leader of the opposition.
18:19I have no voice in that room.
18:21What they decide is what happens.
18:23So the first question, why is the Prime Minister and Amit Shah so keen on choosing exactly who
18:29the election commissioner is going to be?
18:33Second question, and even more devastating question.
18:36No Prime Minister has done this in the history of India.
18:43In December 2023, this government changed the law.
18:51They changed the law to make sure that no election commissioner could be punished for any action they take
19:00while they are election commissioners.
19:04Why would the Prime Minister and Home Minister give this gift of immunity to the election commissioner?
19:13Why would they need to give this tremendous gift that no Prime Minister has given ever before to the election commissioner?
19:24Mr. Shah is looking into the ceiling.
19:25Maybe he will answer this question when he speaks.
19:31And finally, why was the law with regards to CCTVs and the data that they contain changed?
19:43Why was the law put in place that allows the election commission to destroy CCTV footage?
19:5245 days after the election.
19:58What is the need?
20:00The answer given is it is a question of data.
20:04It is not a question of data.
20:05It is a question of stealing the election.
20:07Now, what is the result of this institutional capture?
20:17What is the result of controlling the chief election commissioner and the election commission?
20:23First of all, we have a set of election campaigns that are tailored for the Prime Minister.
20:31Three-month, four-month, five-month long campaigns are taking place so that the Prime Minister's schedule can be fitted in to the program.
20:45Second, we have a Brazilian woman who appears 22 times on the voter list of Haryana.
20:54Please, no, 22 times this lady appears.
21:04One minute, one minute, one minute, please.
21:09Please, one minute.
21:09Please, one minute, please.
21:39Please, one minute, please.
22:09Speaker Sir, I don't agree with the showing of photographs here, but it is a reflection
22:32of our democratic structure.
22:34This is what is happening in our democracy that you're not allowing us to show.
22:38This Brazilian woman has appeared 22 times on the voter list in Haryana.
22:44And not only that, there is one woman whose name has appeared 200 times, more than 200
22:52times in one booth in Haryana.
22:56And it is very clear and I have proven without doubt that the election of Haryana was stolen
23:03and the theft was insured by the election commissioner of India.
23:07I've said it again and again and again.
23:12Now, nowhere has the election commission answered my questions.
23:19The election commission has not told me why this lady's picture has appeared on the polling
23:26list.
23:27They have not told me why lakhs and lakhs of duplicate voters are existing.
23:32They have not told me why a BJP leader is coming from Uttar Pradesh to vote in Haryana.
23:38These are straightforward questions.
23:40And there is clear proof which I have put in front of the country.
23:45Right?
23:46Right?
23:47But the election commission has no answer to these questions.
23:49And that is the result of the complete capture of the election commission by the people across
23:57the aisle.
24:01By the way, you're talking about SIR in Bihar, let me say something about SIR in Bihar.
24:07Why is it that after the SIR in Bihar, 1.2 lakh duplicate photos are existing in Bihar in the
24:16voting list?
24:17If you have cleaned up the voting list, why are there 1.2 lakh duplicates in Bihar?
24:23And we've not just proven this about Haryana.
24:27We have proven this in Karnataka, we have proven this in Maharashtra, and I'm absolutely
24:32certain this is how you're winning elections in Madhya Pradesh, in Uttar Pradesh, in Bihar,
24:37across the country.
24:38Now, so what I'm putting on the table is it is very clear that you've captured the institution.
24:49I've shown the mechanism of that capture.
24:52I'm also showing you how the election commission is doing things that are completely out of
24:58line.
24:59I'm not getting any answers.
25:01Right?
25:02So now, let us come to how, when we're talking about electoral reform.
25:10Electoral reform is very simple.
25:12The point is, nobody wants to do it.
25:15The government doesn't want to do it.
25:17What does electoral reform require?
25:19What we've been saying?
25:21Number one.
25:22Give machine-readable voter lists to all political parties one month before the election.
25:34That's the first step.
25:35The second step is take back the law that allows the destruction of CCTVs.
25:42CCTV footage.
25:44Very simple.
25:46Not difficult.
25:48While you're doing that, also tell us what is the architecture of the EVM.
25:54Give us access to the EVM.
25:55Let our experts go and see what is inside the EVM.
25:59Till today, we have not had access to the EVM.
26:03We are not shown the architecture of the EVM.
26:07We are not physically allowed to go and see an EVM.
26:10Give us the architecture.
26:11Give us access to the EVM.
26:13And finally, please change the law that allows the election commissioner to get away with whatever
26:20he wants to do.
26:21That's all the electoral reforms you need.
26:24And I want to assure the election commissioner that they might be under the impression that this law lets them get away with it.
26:34Don't remind them.
26:35Don't worry.
26:36We are going to change the law.
26:38And we are going to change it retroactively.
26:41And we are going to come and find you.
26:46Right?
26:47So this is the situation that the country is faced with.
26:50You know, everybody says to us, India is the biggest democracy.
26:55Actually, I was thinking today, we are not just the biggest democracy.
27:00We are the greatest democracy.
27:02And I'm not saying it just like that.
27:05I'm saying it, America calls itself the oldest democracy.
27:11But the democracy that weaves together the largest number of people, the diversity, the largest diversity of people, the largest number of languages, the largest number of states is this.
27:28And so our most powerful asset, the thing that stitches together the entire concept of modern India, stitches together the fabric of modern India, brings people together, allows them to build this great nation, is being attacked by these people.
27:47is being attacked by these people.
27:48They are destroying it.
27:49They are destroying it.
27:50You know they are destroying it.
27:51I know they are destroying it.
27:53And they know they are destroying it.
27:55and i'd like to conclude by saying that the biggest anti-national act you can do
28:05is vote sure there is no bigger there is no bigger anti-national act that you can do
28:11than vote sure because when you when you destroy the vote you destroy the fabric of this country
28:20you destroy modern india you destroy the idea of india so i'd like to conclude by saying
28:27vote jury is an anti-national act and those across the aisle are doing an anti-national act
28:35thank you
