In a significant political development, members of the Mysuru district Congress unit initiated a robust signature campaign across the city on Saturday. The campaign’s central allegation is widespread vote fraud attributed to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
This local initiative directly follows a broader national campaign spearheaded by prominent Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. Gandhi has publicly asserted that the BJP is actively engaged in electoral manipulation and has criticized the Election Commission for allegedly failing to address these serious concerns.
Local Congress workers in Mysuru echoed these sentiments, expressing deep apprehension that India’s democratic foundations are being systematically eroded. They claim that elections are being tampered with to guarantee victories for the ruling BJP at the national level. Characterizing these alleged actions as an existential threat to democracy, Congress leaders in Mysuru are actively mobilizing public opinion and gathering support for their campaign.
Key figures present at the launch included City Congress president Vijaykumar and district unit president R. Murthy, alongside other prominent party members, underscoring the seriousness with which the party views these allegations.
