There is a need to start Quit Vote Chori movement, says Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar
Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar has called for a 'Quit Vote Chori' movement to combat alleged voter deletion and theft in India. He urged party workers to protect voting rights to ensure political success for the Congress party.
Why it matters
The call reflects ongoing political tensions regarding electoral integrity and voter registration processes in India's democratic system.
Stating that votes were being stolen in the country, Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar on Sunday (August 9) said that a ‘Quit Vote Chori’ movement should be started on the lines of the Quit India movement.
Appealing to party workers to set aside all their work and fight against vote theft, the Chief Minister said that efforts were being made to delete one crore voters in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR). “You have to protect your votes. We are giving guarantee schemes and without voting rights, the scheme benefits will not be provided,” he said at an event to mark the Quit India Movement, organised by the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee here. “Protecting your vote will help make Rahul Gandhi the Prime Minister of the country,” he added.
