'Vote chori proof': Opposition attacks Rakesh Sinha, BJP leaders for voting in two states; RSS ideologue hits back

NEW DELHI: Opposition parties on Wednesday accused BJP leaders of voting in more than one state, calling it “proof of vote theft.”

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), and Congress claimed that RSS ideologue Rakesh Sinha had voted in both the Delhi and Bihar elections.


Sharing screenshots of Sinha’s posts, which showed him voting in the Delhi Assembly elections on 5 February 2025 and again in the Bihar Assembly elections on Thursday, AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj wrote on X: “Rakesh Sinha voted in the Delhi Assembly elections and again in the Bihar elections today. He teaches at Delhi University’s Motilal Nehru College, so how can he claim an address in Bihar? Do you think the BJP will reform if caught stealing? Not at all; they will continue to do it openly. Even today, fake monitoring continues at the AQI stations.”

He can’t change his address to Bihar as he still teaches at Motilal Nehru College (eve) in Delhi University.
It’s open and shut case of fraud. https://t.co/TksTLtS2kT

The opposition also alleged that BJP Delhi Purvanchal Morcha president Santosh Ojha and party worker Nagendra Kumar were among those who voted in both Delhi and Bihar.

Rakesh Sinha dismissed the allegations, saying he had shifted his voter registration from Delhi to his village in Bihar, and warned that he would file a defamation suit against the accusations

My name is only in Bihar’s electoral roll . It was earlier in Delhi’ s electoral roll and I got it deleted through… pic.twitter.com/wuvwHPZD8V

Taking to X, Sinha said, “I never imagined politics could fall to such a low level. Those questioning the faith of people who respect the constitution should think a hundred times before speaking. My name was earlier in Delhi’s voter list, but since I have been active in Bihar politics, I got it transferred to my village Manserpur (Begusarai). Should I file a defamation case for this baseless accusation?” he asked.
