A day after Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, alleged voter fraud, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Friday launched a scathing attack against Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), alleging "vote theft".

Addressing the Congress' 'Vote Adhikar Rally' in Bengaluru's Freedom Park, Kharge claimed that the party had lost the 2019 General Elections due to 'fake votes', ANI reported.

"The current government is a government of theft. Modi is making this country cry with bogus votes. I had said this in 2019. In my entire life, I lost in the 2019 elections, I also lost because of bogus votes, which has now come to light," the veteran politician said.
