Vote Chori row: MP Supriya Sule says there is a need to clean up the system if there is any gap

Nationalist Congress Party (SP) MP Supriya Sule has said there is a need to 'clean up the system' if a gap is present amid repeated vote manipulation claims by the opposition.

Nationalist Congress Party (SP) MP Supriya Sule has said there is a need to 'clean up the system' if a gap is present amid repeated vote manipulation claims by the opposition.

Sule told NDTV: "I see no reason we can't have a debate on data. Need to clean up the system if there are gaps."

Rahul Gandhi and the Congress-led INDIA bloc have in recent weeks mounted a campaign alleging large-scale “vote theft” during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, where the BJP-led NDA returned to power with a decisive mandate.

The Opposition has accused the ruling party of manipulating electronic voting machines (EVMs), tampering with counting procedures, and exerting pressure on election officials.

On August 7, Gandhi held a press conference to unveil documents he claimed were “evidence” of irregularities, releasing them in multiple languages through his official website.

Sule remarked on the backdrop of Gandhi's vote theft allegations.

"If there is data coming, let's have a debate on it,"  Sule said.

The BJP has strongly denied Gandhi's charges, calling them an attempt to delegitimise the electoral process and undermine public faith in democratic institutions.
