Chief Election Commission Slams Congress' 'Fake Voters' Theory In Rajasthan

Chief Election Commissioner Om Prakash Rawat on Tuesday slammed the Congress party, who said that there are many fake voters in Rajasthan. CEC Rawat said that these are not fake voters, these are duplicates and those voters who have shifted to some other place. He also said that the new addresses will be added and the duplicates will be deleted before the elections.

The CEC categorically said that the parties who claimed the EVMs were hacked and now saying the votes are fake, they do that because of competition but none of their claims had ever turned out to be true.

Elaborating on the fake vote allegations, Om Prakash Rawat said the Election Commission revise the voter list every year and all voters can add and subtract their names at that time. Also, he said that "when elections come, then we revise the voter list all over again and this process never stops."

Rawat said  that it is an illusion of many parties that EVM is rigged or votes are fake but these illusions had never come true. He said, "we have challenged these parties many time to prove there allegations but they could never prove it".

After the EVM hacking charge, the Congress in Rajasthan has come up with this claim that there are fake voters in Rajasthan and also went on to say that they have to meet the district election commissioner and the collector of Jaipur Siddharth Mahajan. Congress Jaipur chief Pratap Singh Khachariyawas met with collector Siddharth Mahajan regarding that.

The Rajasthan unit of Congress has claimed that there are over 10 lakh fake voters in the state voter lists. But according to the Chief Election Commissioner and other officials of Election Commission the term fake votes is totally wrong in this case. They said that voters do shift from one constituency to another, similarly, duplicities do take place because of human error and all this is in a process of continuous revision once in a year. Also before the election, it gets fully revised. So calling these duplicities and other things as fake votes is wrong.
