Rahul Gandhi set to hold press conference

Days after Rahul Gandhi said he will soon come out with a “hydrogen bomb” of revelations about “vote chori”, the Congress announced that the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha will hold a press conference on Thursday (September 18, 2025).

Addressing the concluding event of his Voter Adhikar Yatra on September 1, Mr. Gandhi had said his party will soon come out with a “hydrogen bomb” of revelations about “vote chori” and after that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will not be able to show his face to the country.

Coming down hard on the Election Commission of India (ECI) for its response on “vote theft” allegations, former Chief Election Commissioner S.Y. Quraishi on Sunday (September 14, 2025) said the poll body should have ordered a probe into Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi’s charges instead of “shouting” at him in a language that was “objectionable and offensive”.

In an interview with PTI, Mr. Quraishi said much of the terms used by Mr. Gandhi while making the allegations such as likening them to a “hydrogen bomb” were “political rhetoric” but asserted that the complaints that he was raising need to be investigated in detail.
