Bengaluru : Congress leader and educationist Mansoor Ali Khan, AICC Secretary (Kerala & Lakshadweep) and the 2024 Lok Sabha candidate from Bangalore Central, expressed his deep gratitude to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for taking up the fight against ‘Vote Chori’.

In his social media message, Mansoor Ali Khan said, “On behalf of the Congress leaders and workers of the constituency, I want to thank Shri Rahul Gandhi. His leadership in confronting the systemic subversion of our democracy has been a source of immense strength and inspiration.”

He highlighted that detailed research in the Bangalore Central constituency exposed how modern ‘vote theft’ has been carried out through digital manipulation. Calling it a “disgusting usurping of the people’s will,” he praised Rahul Gandhi for taking a strong stand against it. “By choosing to champion this cause, Shri Rahul Gandhi has launched a formidable challenge against the forces that seek to weaken our democratic foundations,” he said.

Mansoor Ali Khan stressed that this issue is not just about one constituency, but about the integrity of the entire electoral system. “We are committed to this fight, for the people of Bengaluru and for every citizen of India, to ensure that democracy is not just a word, but a lived reality,” he stated.

Appealing to citizens to show their support, he urged people to join Rahul Gandhi’s campaign against vote theft. “Change your DP today and stand with Rahul Gandhi in his fight against #VoteChori. Every stolen vote isn’t just a number, it’s an attack on our mandate and our democratic identity. Rahul Gandhi is standing up to the EC–BJP nexus that enabled this vote theft. It’s time we show we’re with him in this fight to protect our democracy. Show your resolve, resist Vote Chori,” he added.

He also shared the campaign link for citizens to participate:  votechori.in/dp

By standing with Rahul Gandhi, he called upon citizens to raise their voice and actively participate in safeguarding free and fair elections for the future of the country.”
