Remember when Rahul Gandhi said his aim was to dent PM Modi’s credibility? Yogendra Yadav says no affidavit or proof will be given for “vote chori” campaign: Read why

“I am going to rip that strength to pieces. I am going to take it and shred it,” Rahul Gandhi infamously conveyed in reference to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s credibility during an India Today interview amid the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. He further claimed that the lie would be successfully propagated due to his persistence. While this statement might be a few years old, the Lok Sabha MP, his party and their entire ecosystem have continued to live by the same. The Congress-led I.N.D.I. Alliance and its supporters have left no stone unturned in their efforts to malign the prime minister and the present government despite numerous failures and criticisms. In the unrelenting chase for power and the prolonged frustration over the inability to secure the Indian electorate’s favour, the opposition has resorted to vilifying the nation’s institutions including the Election Commission, branding them as anti-democratic and corrupt. The comprehensive campaign against “vote chori (theft),” the assault on the essential Special Intensive Revision (SIR) drive in Bihar, allegations of voter disenfranchisement and the ongoing demonization of the Election Commission and Chief Election Commissioner of India, Gyanesh Kumar, represent an extension of the same malicious agenda. Nevertheless, akin to their established premise of shoot and scoot, the Gandhi scion and his allies have religiously refrained from providing their allegations in a sworn affidavit, despite repeated requests from the election authority. They want their assertions to be accepted as gospel truth by the nation, yet refuse to present any evidence to aid their critical accusations while orchestrating press conferences and public rallies to incite voters against the government and the election commission. Yogendra Yadav exposes real intention behind the allegations Currently, Congress advocate and full-time propagandist Yogendra (Salim) Yadav has stepped into the limelight and announced what was already evident, considering the dubious history of his political masters. In an interview with Arfa Khanum Sherwani from “The Wire,” recognized as another vital source of fabricated narratives and disinformation, he announced that the grand old party will not furnish any evidence in support of its accusations of vote chori. The interaction that was released on 20th September on the official YouTube channel of the media outlet alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party was directly involved in vote theft. During the discussion, Yogendra Yadav insisted that even BJP supporters have become doubtful and believe that the party is engaged in some unethical practices. He then rejected the notion of taking legal action, stating that submitting affidavits or approaching courts is pointless. Yadav stressed that this situation revolves around public perception rather than factual evidence and Rahul Gandhi has effectively influenced public sentiment to his advantage. Additionally, he noted that anti-BJP and neutral voters have been viewing the ruling party with scepticism. Vote Chori campaign is not about going to Court and Prove facts. It is a game of PERCEPTION and sowing seeds of DOUBT in the mind of Voters against Modi and this time Rahul is succeeding with the plan! pic.twitter.com/mdG09zp1Nh— Megh Updates (@MeghUpdates) September 20, 2025 Yadav clearly outlined the rationale behind the lack of proof or submission, pointing out that the allegations were never about truth but designed to target the BJP and PM Modi with the aim to shift voter support to the opposition. Reaffirming his assertion of the saffron party’s purported participation in vote theft, he added that the latter’s supporters are suggesting that PM Modi is fine but something is not quite right. Yadav announced that this subject has been addressed with Union Home Minister Amit Shah during party meetings and gatherings. However, just as Rahul Gandhi, he too avoided substantiating his claims with any proof. Notably, the Congress ecosystem has stripped away its facade and much like the past instances of leveraging the country’s institutions to attack the central government headed by the BJP, this new set of allegations is no exception. Yadav stated that the BJP is directly committing “vote theft,” highlighting how the Congress and opposition have only utilized the electoral body to advance their political agenda without a second thought about the damage they inflicted on its reputation. They evidently do not care about the harm caused to the nation or its foundational elements of democracy while pursuing their political objectives. It mirrors the manner in which the opposition has relentlessly attacked other institutions such as the judiciary, depicting it as an extension of the centre when judgements do not align with their interests. Conclusion After resounding failure of their efforts to remove PM Modi from Delhi and with no likelihood of a return in the for
