‘Vote chori’: Inside India’s voter list scandals | LME 87 | Pooja Prasanna
Description
Rahul Gandhi’s ‘vote chori’ allegation has put Bengaluru’s Mahadevapura in the spotlight. But fake voters and duplicate IDs are being found far beyond Karnataka.
This week on Let Me Explain, we hit the ground in Mahadevapura, and Kerala’s Thrissur, uncovering fake voters in a single address and duplicate EPIC IDs across states. From a brewery with 68 voters to IDs active in three states, the rot runs deep.
If the rolls are flawed, the game is rigged before the first vote is cast.
How did these anomalies go unchecked by the Election Commission? What does it mean for our democracy? Pooja Prasanna brings you the full picture from the ground in this week’s Let Me Explain.
