The BJP claimed that the Congress party is protecting millions of fraudulent voters, citing a 13‑crore figure and providing a detailed share breakdown.
New Delhi – In a recent statement, senior leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) alleged that the Indian National Congress is actively shielding a large number of fraudulent voters, referencing a figure of 13 crore. The party said the alleged fake voter count poses a serious threat to the integrity of the electoral roll.
The BJP released a share‑wise breakdown of the alleged 13‑crore voters, claiming that the numbers are distributed across several states and constituencies. While the party did not disclose the methodology behind the calculation, it urged the Election Commission to investigate the matter urgently.
Congress has not responded to the accusations as of now. The claim comes ahead of the upcoming electoral cycle, intensifying the political debate over voter list accuracy and electoral reforms.
Election officials have previously warned about the presence of bogus entries in the voter database, but no official figure matching the BJP's 13‑crore claim has been confirmed. The controversy is likely to influence political discourse in the weeks leading up to the polls.
