Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, held a press conference at the AICC headquarters in New Delhi. Gandhi claimed that he is about to drop a “hydrogen bomb” of evidence related to voter fraud. The Congress leader alleged that a Brazilian model’s profile was used to commit voter manipulation in Haryana, escalating his ongoing accusations against the BJP over alleged “vote theft” and irregularities in electoral rolls.
Gandhi had earlier warned the BJP on September 1 that he would soon reveal explosive evidence, calling his earlier disclosure about Mahadevpura in Maharashtra merely an “atom bomb” in comparison. Speaking at a public meeting marking the end of the 16-day Voter Adhikar Yatra, he accused the BJP of undermining India’s constitutional foundations and manipulating voter data. Through the yatra, the Congress aimed to raise awareness about voter rights and protest alleged irregularities during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.
During a rally in Patna, Gandhi thanked the people of Bihar for their support, reiterating his claim that the Congress had already exposed wrongdoing in Mahadevpura. “We had shown an atom bomb in Mahadevpura, but soon we will come with a hydrogen bomb. BJP, get ready. Their truth will be shown to the country,” he said. Gandhi further asserted that after his revelation, Prime Minister Narendra Modi “won’t be able to show his face to this country.”
As Bihar prepares for the first phase of assembly elections scheduled for November 5, Gandhi’s press conference — titled The H Files — is being closely watched. This marks his third media interaction on the issue, where he continues to allege large-scale manipulation of voter rolls. His remarks have stirred significant political debate, with opposition parties rallying around claims of compromised elections.
Meanwhile, the Election Commission of India (ECI) has dismissed Gandhi’s accusations as “incorrect and baseless.” In his previous press conference on September 17, Gandhi launched a scathing attack on Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, accusing him of “protecting” those “destroying Indian democracy” by refusing to disclose details of individuals allegedly involved in the voter roll deletions in Mahadevpura, Karnataka.
The BJP, on its part, has rejected the Congress leader’s claims, calling them politically motivated and accusing the party of engaging in “infiltrators-first politics.”
