The TPCC chief credited Rahul Gandhi for “relentlessly exposing vote theft” and said democratic values must be defended if the nation’s future is to remain secure. “Vote theft tears through the Constitution itself,” he said.
Meanwhile, Ponnam Prabhakar said that the saffron party was using multiple methods to delete and manipulate votes to retain power.
He criticised the ECI, alleging that it was functioning like a “front organisation” of the BJP.
The Congress, with its legacy of the freedom struggle, had the responsibility to protect democracy, he added.
The Youth Congress also announced that a state-wide signature campaign against vote theft was launched on Monday.
