After the recent Hafta email on less coverage of vote chori, I feel the need to write this. The SIR by the EC is utterly discredited, but the outrage over Rahul Gandhi’s press conference mirrors the blind fury of Modi supporters. Questions remain unanswered – did these 1 lakh voters actually help the BJP win those seats? By RaGa’s logic, Modi won Varanasi by 1.5 lakh votes through vote chori, while Afzal Ansari in the neighbouring constituency won fair and square. Instead of reacting emotionally, people should think critically. RaGa’s alliance with the RJD in Bihar raises doubts about the credibility of his moral posturing, which he projects so highly in his yatras. INC’s poor strategies, evident in Haryana despite immense anti-incumbency against the BJP, and now in Bihar, highlight political laziness. This outrage thus seems less about principle and more like a cover for Congress’s recurring strategic failures.
