Rahul Gandhi's 'thief' slogan increases political risks nationwide

- ALOK MEHTA

Rahul Gandhi launched in Bihar a campaign accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Election Commission with the slogan "vote thief," turning his outreach into a combative political movement. Critics argue this resembles attempts to provoke rebellion against elections and democracy, akin to Naxal-Maoist strategies. Although branded as the "Adhikar Yatra," such rhetoric is troubling in a state with a violent history of booth capturing and election rigging. Questioning voting machines, voter lists, government, Election Commission, CBI, and police only deepens distrust among the poor and uneducated masses.
