The Congress party is leveraging the power of music, releasing a Bhojpuri song to make serious allegations against the BJP and the Election Commission of India (ECI) regarding the integrity of the upcoming Bihar elections. The song, prominently featuring the phrase “Votva Chor Lagela,” which means “The vote thief seems,” serves as the core message of the campaign. The video presents a sharp critique of the BJP and the ECI, accusing them of electoral malfeasance. The campaign highlights a series of alleged irregularities in the voter registration process and the overall voting procedures.
The Congress party’s efforts aim to bring attention to several specific irregularities. These irregularities include multiple voter registrations for the same individual and the removal of certain individuals from the voter rolls. The campaign also addresses reports of deceased individuals remaining on the voter lists and the presence of a significant number of people registered at a single address. The video also references the case of Bihar Deputy CM Vijay Sinha, whose name reportedly appears in multiple voter lists.
This campaign is part of a broader strategy by the Congress to question the fairness of the election and to rally support for free and fair elections. Rahul Gandhi has been particularly vocal in accusing the BJP of vote theft and has launched a ‘Voter Rights Yatra’ in Bihar to address the issues of electoral fraud.
