congress leader Rahul gandhi makes a startling assertion about the 2024 lok sabha elections, claiming that prime minister Narendra Modi's position was secured through the manipulation of just 25 seats. The video, part of a presentation, features gandhi standing before a large screen displaying a map of haryana, where he argues that the congress party lost by a mere 22,779 votes across eight seats, a minuscule fraction of the total 2 crore voters.

The tweet, which includes snapshots from the video, captures Gandhi's accusation that the election commission of india (ECI) is complicit in this fraud by not providing wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW'>digital voter rolls, thereby obscuring the truth. This claim, labeled as "criminal evidence" by gandhi, has reignited debates about the integrity of India's electoral process, especially given the narrow margins that can sway outcomes in a first-past-the-post system.

Gandhi's presentation, as depicted in the images, uses the haryana example to illustrate how a small number of votes can drastically alter election results, suggesting a pattern of systemic manipulation. He argues that Modi needed only to "steal" 25 seats with margins less than 33,000 votes to maintain power, a threshold that could be achieved through covert means. The video shows gandhi emphasizing that the ECI's refusal to release wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW'>digital voter data is a deliberate attempt to hide such irregularities, a point he reinforces by stating, "Narendra Modi is the prime minister because of 25 seats in Lok Sabha." The accompanying text in the tweet amplifies this message, accusing the ECI of destroying evidence across the country and exposing an alleged nexus between the ECI and the BJP. This narrative has prompted calls for judicial intervention to safeguard democracy, as gandhi warns that the current state of affairs undermines the constitutional fabric of India.

Supporters of gandhi see this as a courageous exposé of electoral malpractices, while critics dismiss it as a desperate attempt by the congress to undermine Modi's mandate. The specific case of Mahadevapura, mentioned in the video, where gandhi claims 100,250 fake votes were created, adds a concrete example to his broader accusations, though the ECI has yet to respond definitively to these claims.
