Gandhi highlighted that 6,018 fake applications were filed using Form 7 to delete these votes, involving software manipulation and Karnataka Minister Priyank Kharge echoed these concerns, revealing that prior to the 2023 polls, 7,250 voters were deleted without their knowledge in Aland.BEE CRAFTS Women's Cotton Embroidery Anarkali Kurti and Pant with Dupatta Set
Upon discovering the irregularity, he and Congress MLA B.R. Patil immediately filed a complaint with the Election Commission of India . A review of 6,018 deletion applications showed that only 28 voters had been informed of the process, with the rest removed illicitly without notice.
Kharge accused the ECI of failing to respond adequately to 18 letters from the Karnataka CID seeking critical data like IP logs, OTP trails, and device IDs, raising questions about the poll body's transparency and potential complicity. These revelations have ignited widespread debate in political circles, casting doubts on the integrity of the electoral system.

Congress leaders argue that such manipulations undermine democracy, particularly targeting opposition voters. The ECI has dismissed the claims as "baseless and misconceived," stating that no deletions occur without verification and that an FIR was already filed in 2023 for attempted tampering.After Mahadevapura, Now Aland - Rahul Gandhi Accuses Election Commission of Voter Deletion.!
