EC asks Congress’ Pawan Khera why action shouldn’t be taken after claims that he is voter in 2 seats
Congress leader Pawan Khera was on Tuesday served a notice by New Delhi's district election officer for being registered as a voter allegedly in two Assembly constituencies, New Delhi and Jangpura.
The notice issued under the 1950 Representation of the People Act directs Khera to explain why action should not be taken against him for the alleged dual registration, which is an offence.
Khera, a Congress spokesperson, has been directed to reply to the notice by 11 am on Monday.
Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Khera said that he had shifted out of the New Delhi constituency in 2016 and had followed the procedure to get his name deleted from the voter roll there.
Khera asked why his name was still active in both constituencies and demanded to know who might have voted using his name. He asserted that he wants the security camera footage from the polling booth.
“This is the very issue Congress has been raising – the serious flaws in the Election Commission's functioning,” he added.
In social media post, Khera further questioned the efficiency of the Election Commission's oversight, stating that since 2016, four elections – the Lok Sabha polls in 2019 and 2024, and the Assembly polls in 2020 and 2025 – had occurred. Therefore, he said, at least four revisions of the electoral rolls should have taken place.
“Yet, my name is still on New Delhi rolls,” he said. “Which stone has the ECI been sleeping under?”
In a separate post, Khera accused the poll panel of selectively acting on complaints against Opposition leaders while ignoring allegations of large-scale electoral irregularities flagged by them.
He said this was “yet another confirmation of how the Election Commission functions to support the ruling regime”.
Bharatiya Janata Party's publicity chief Amit Malviya said on Tuesday that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had raised allegations of “vote chori”, or vote theft, but it had come to light that Khera was holding two active Electors Photo Identification Card numbers.
“It is now for the Election Commission to investigate how Pawan Khera holds two active EPIC numbers, and whether he voted multiple times – a clear violation of electoral laws,” he said on social media.
The development came amid allegations by Opposition parties about widespread electoral fraud in the country.
The Congress has alleged that votes were “stolen” in Maharashtra during the 2024 Assembly polls and in Karnataka's Bangalore Central Lok Sabha constituency during the 2024 general election.
On August 7, Gandhi said that his party had spent six months examining the electoral rolls in central Bengaluru's Mahadevapura Assembly segment and found discrepancies in more than one lakh names.
He alleged that this was evidence of the Election Commission having colluded with the BJP.
Gandhi and the Congress have also repeatedly alleged that there was “industrial-scale rigging involving the capture of our national institutions” in the Maharashtra polls held in November.
The BJP-led alliance had defeated the Maha Vikas Aghadi coalition, which includes the Congress, in the polls.
The Election Commission has rejected these allegations.
Gandhi, along with allies from Rashtriya Janata Dal, also held a 14-day Voter Adhikar Yatra that concluded on Monday in poll-bound Bihar over the special intensive revision of the voter list in the state.
