Rajendra Pal Gautam Accuses Centre of EVM Manipulation, Calls for Mass Rally on December 14
Former Delhi minister Rajendra Pal Gautam accuses the central government of manipulating EVMs and suppressing votes of marginalized communities. He calls for a nationwide gathering at Delhi’s Ramlila Maidan on 14 December 2025, framing it as a fight to protect India’s Constitution and democratic values.
Positioning the moment as a turning point in national politics, Gautam said the country was entering what he described as a second struggle for independence, driven by the need to safeguard the Constitution and democratic institutions. He added that this movement would unfold under the leadership of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, whom he credited with raising fundamental questions about electoral transparency and civil rights.
Gautam urged citizens from across the country to gather at Delhi’s Ramlila Maidan on 14 December 2025, describing the planned rally as an opportunity for the public to “contribute to the nation’s interest” by raising their voices on issues of electoral integrity and democratic accountability. While no official response had emerged from the central government at the time of his remarks, the allegations add to an ongoing national debate surrounding EVM reliability and the broader health of India’s electoral processes.
As the date of the rally approaches, Gautam’s statements have injected fresh political intensity into discussions around democratic safeguards, setting the stage for a significant public mobilisation that may shape ongoing discourse on electoral trust and constitutional values.
