“You all need to be alert otherwise your votes may be robbed,” Gandhi said as he addressed rallies in Kishanganj and Purnea in poll-bound Bihar. Holding a copy of the Constitution, he said, “This is the Constitution giving you rights and you have to raise voices against wrongdoing done by Modiji and Shah.”

“Modi, Shah and the Election Commission have no replies to our ‘vote chori’ (vote theft) allegations, as the truth is now out in front of people The PM, Shah can go anywhere they like, but they will eventually be caught for indulging in ‘vote chori’,” he said. “They are doing the same in Bihar but now their theft has been exposed.”
