NEW DELHI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is set to address a press conference on Wednesday, stoking speculation about the “hydrogen bomb” he promised to drop in support of his charges on vote theft by the Bharatiya Janata Party.A day ahead of the first phase of the Bihar assembly elections, the leader of the opposition in the Lok Sabha said he would address a press conference over his vote theft allegations.“The H files. I will be addressing another Voter Chori Press Conference today at 12 pm, watch it LIVE,” Rahul posted on X.Meanwhile, Congress shared an image of a huge stack of papers, claiming that the H files are “coming soon.”Congress leader Pawan Khera took to X and said that people who stole the people’s mandate are living on borrowed time.“Those who stole the people’s mandate and the nation’s democracy are living on borrowed time,” Khera said.“At 12 noon today, Leader of the Opposition Shri Rahul Gandhi will hold a crucial press conference to unveil more explosive evidence of Vote Theft,” he added.This comes after Rahul warned the BJP of an imposing expose, stating that he would soon unleash a “hydrogen bomb” about his allegations of vote theft, as what was shown about Mahadevapura was just an “atom bomb.”On August 7, Rahul unveiled what he had been describing as an “atom bomb” of evidence against the Election Commission. Citing data from the Mahadevapura assembly segment, which falls under the Bengaluru Central parliamentary constituency in Congress-ruled Karnataka, he accused the poll body of “colluding” with the BJP.Citing the study, Rahul claimed the BJP won Bangalore Central by 32,707 votes while 1,00,250 fake votes were polled in its favour. He said the fake votes fell into five categories: duplicate voters (11,965), fake/invalid addresses (40,009), bulk voters at a single address (10,452), invalid photos of voters (4,132), and “misuse of Form 6” for first-time voters (33,692). Showing files, he cited examples to argue that people had voted multiple times in different booths of the seat, while voter list addresses included “Street 0” and “House no. 0.” He said there were cases where as many as 80 voters were shown at one address, or 50 in a single one-bedroom house, and that attempts to cross-check resulted in either researchers being beaten up or confirmation that the voters did not live there.
