The CEO of Maharashtra, Haryana issued a latest letter to Rahul Gandhi, gave him 10 days to prove the claims of ‘Voter Fraud’. Bharat News

New Delhi: The Chief Electoral Officers of Maharashtra and Haryana sent new letters to the Leader of the Opposition on Sunday, giving him 10 days time, which was presented a signed announcement with details of the election, alleging that he was linked to fraud so that necessary action could be initiated.The CEO of Karnataka also sent a notice to Rahul on Sunday, in which in a press conference recently, Mahadevpura voter Shakun Rani denied his claim, saying that he had voted twice from Mahadevpura AC in 2024 Lok Sabha elections. The Congress leader was requested to provide the documents, on the basis of which he reached the conclusion, so that a detailed investigation could be conducted. “On inquiry, Mrs. Shakun Rani (voter in question) said that she has voted only once and not twice, as is allegedly by you. The preliminary investigation conducted by this office also shows that there is not a document issued by the polling officer on the tick-marked document shown in the presentation, “the CEO said in a letter sent to the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha.In view of the latest letter of Rahul of CEO of Karnataka, the Election Commission once again asked him to react on time. An EC executive officer said, “They should either be selected under the registration of the Declaration/Oath Rule 20 (3) B, or apologize to the nation for making baseless allegations against the EC.”Sources said that if Rahul does not submit a declaration, his claims cannot be investigated as the law requires evidence by any person (who is not a voter himself in that particular constituency) to tender on the oath. If Rahul was to present an oath and evidence and it is found to be fabricated or wrong, then Bharti will kick section 227 and 229 (giving false evidence) of Nyana Sanhita (BNS); This section provides for a period of prison for three years and, if this incorrect evidence is repeated in court, it invites the gel for seven years. In addition, there is punishable with imprisonment of up to one year under Section 31 under Section 31 of the Representation of the People’s Act, 1950 to make false allegations in relation to the preparation, amendment or improvement of the electoral rolls, or to include any entry in the electoral roll.Meanwhile, EC sources told TOI on Sunday that the alleged voting records shown as “EC data” by Rahul against Shakun Rani’s name are seen to be fabricated, as part of such record form was maintained as part of 17A and maintained by the voting officer. Access to Form 17A is limited to authorized EC authorities and is not shared with political parties. Polling agents of parties get voting records, but in Form 17C, which do not include pictures of voters. Form 17A is presented only before the court on demanding in any judicial proceedings. Shining a “fake document” in a press conference can lead to legal consequences for Rahul as he can face an FIR for violation of Section 337 of the Indian Joint Code (BNS) 2023, which provides a village for a period of prison up to seven years for a village identity card, like a voter identity card. The possession of such fake documents is a criminal offense under Section 339 of BNS, it is also punishable with imprisonment that can increase by seven years.Sources in the EC said that the CEO of Karnataka has not received any documents quoted by Rahul at the last week’s press conference to accuse him of ‘large -scale voter fraud’ at Mahadewapura AC in the state.In his presentation at the press conference, Rahul Gandhi displayed the voter details of Shakun Rani in the electoral role “received through RTI from EC Arrow Login” and “BLA-BLA-Choic Electoral Roll”, and claimed in his comment that the polling officer had tickled against his ID card twice. Interestingly, the role of booth level agent (BLA) of a political party is limited to electoral rolls related activities; These are the polling agents who represent the party and their candidates at the polling station are their voting agents.
