On Tuesday, the BJP launched a new attack on the Congress, accusing senior lawmaker Pawan Khera and his wife Kota Neelima of having numerous voter ID cards. BJP IT Cell chief Amit Malviya said that Neelima, who ran from Khairatabad in Telangana, has two active EPICs, one in Khairatabad and one in New Delhi, and related this to previous discoveries that Khera had dual voter IDs.
Malviya accused the Congress of systematic “vote chori,” claiming that individuals engaged in such tactics were the ones harming ordinary residents, and demanded that the Election Commission investigate the situation, while also criticizing Rahul Gandhi’s silence on the subject.
Rahul Gandhi held a press conference and, without adequate due diligence, targeted and tarnished honest voters — even putting them at risk by revealing their identities without consent. He doxxed young, upwardly mobile professionals and poor daily wagers who had moved cities in… pic.twitter.com/WWjM3OUIZB

The BJP leader further said that the issue indicates a deeper malaise inside the Congress, dating back to Sonia Gandhi’s inclusion on the voter list in 1980 despite being Italian-born. Malviya stated that this trend explains why Congress and the INDIA bloc “defend illegal migrants and non-Indians while castigating our own people.”
Malviya urged that Rahul Gandhi break his silence and that the Election Commission look into the claims. “Rahul Gandhi cannot extricate himself from these acts of criminality within his own ranks, particularly involving people aspiring for public office and members of his inner coterie,” the congressman said.
The BJP’s latest onslaught comes after the Election Commission issued a notice to senior Congress politician Pawan Khera on Tuesday for allegedly enrolling himself in the electoral rolls of more than one Delhi assembly constituency.
The District Election Officer (DEO) of New Delhi shared the notice on social media platform X, along with a copy of the official order. The Congress leader has been asked to answer to the notification by 11 a.m. on September 8.
