Former Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Dr. Narottam Mishra said there is no vote‑theft, asserting that voters have stopped supporting thieves, responding to allegations raised by Rahul Gandhi.
Former Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Dr. Narottam Mishra publicly rejected the charge of electoral fraud levelled by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, stating that vote‑theft is not occurring in the state.
Mishra argued that the electorate has become disillusioned with candidates he described as “thieves” and has consequently stopped casting votes for them, implying a broader voter disengagement rather than any organized malpractice.
The remarks were made during a press interaction in Bhopal, where Mishra, now a senior BJP figure, sought to counter the opposition’s narrative ahead of upcoming elections. His comments underscore the heightened political rhetoric as parties vie for voter confidence in Madhya Pradesh.
