Highlights of the Speech of Leader of Opposition (Lok Sabha) Shri Rahul Gandhi addressing the ‘Vote Chor, Gaddi Chhod! Mega Rally’ at Ramlila Maidan in New Delhi on December 14, 2025.

Our dear workers, brothers and sisters, fellow citizens, our friends from the press, a very warm welcome to all of you. Namaste. As I was coming here in the car, I was told that Mohan Bhagwat had given a statement in Andaman and Nicobar. My speech plan was different, but when I heard his statement, I completely changed my speech plan. Gandhiji used to say that truth is paramount. In our religion, truth is considered paramount. In our religion, it is said - Satyam-Shivam-Sundaram. You have also heard "Satyameva Jayate" (Truth alone triumphs). Now listen to Mohan Bhagwat's statement... The world does not see the truth, it sees power; whoever has power is respected... This is Mohan Bhagwat's thinking. This is the ideology of the RSS.

Our ideology, the ideology of India, the ideology of Hinduism, the ideology of every religion in the world says that truth is paramount, and Mohan Bhagwat says that truth is meaningless, power is what matters... This is the battle being fought in India.

Brothers and sisters, a battle is being waged between truth and falsehood, and I guarantee you from this stage – you will see, we will stand with the truth, and by standing behind the truth, we will remove Narendra Modi and Amit Shah, and the RSS government from India. They have power, they steal votes... Elections are being held, they give 10,000 rupees, they have their Election Commissioners, whose names Priyanka ji just mentioned. I'll mention them too – Gyanesh Kumar, Dr. Sukhbir Singh Sandhu, Dr. Vivek Joshi. This battle between truth and falsehood is ongoing... The Election Commission is working in collusion with the BJP government, and they are giving them all the immunity they need.

Narendra Modi changed the law for the Election Commissioners. He brought in a new law, stating that no action can be taken against the Election Commissioners, no matter what they do. I am telling you this from this stage, the Congress Party is telling you... don't forget that you are the Election Commissioners of India, you are not Narendra Modi's Election Commissioners, and we are telling you clearly – this law that has been made, this law that has been made to protect you, we will change this law, we will change it retroactively, and we will take action against you. Because we are fighting for the truth, and you are standing with deceit.

Brothers and sisters, people have come here from Haryana. The election was stolen from them. A woman from Brazil appears 22 times on the Haryana voter list. One woman visits a polling booth 200 times. BJP leaders from Uttar Pradesh come and vote in Haryana... they have votes there and they have votes here too; there are millions of duplicate voters. I held a press conference, and these three individuals – Gyanesh Kumar, Sukhbir Singh Sandhu, and Vivek Joshi – gave no response. We made allegations, we asked them questions: Explain to us how a woman from Brazil ended up on the voter list? Why does one woman appear 200 times? Why are there 500, 600, or 700 voters registered at a single address? Why are BJP leaders from Uttar Pradesh voting in Haryana? We received no answer.

And just a few days ago, Amit Shah ji is giving explanations for them in the Parliament House with trembling hands. You must have seen it, right? I directly challenged him to come and have a debate in Parliament, let's show the country who is telling the truth.

Don't forget this – this is a country of truth, a land of honesty. You may be in power... but that means nothing. The people of this country understand the truth, they fight for the truth, this country has sacrificed lives for the truth. You saw, you saw Amit Shah, did you see Amit Shah's hand trembling? Why was his hand trembling? I'll tell you – because they are only brave as long as they hold power... the moment power slips from their hands, you'll see where their bravery goes. And... brothers and sisters, they work for two or three billionaires. All these piles of papers in front of you, these signatures... where did they come from? They came from the people of this country. A slogan has spread to every corner of the country – ‘Vote Chor’ (the public assembly chanted – ‘Gaddi Chhod’), so this is the truth of the country. Whether it's a six-year-old child or a 90-year-old elder... everyone knows that Narendra Modi and Amit Shah win elections by stealing votes. In Karnataka, we showed how Lok Sabha seats were stolen; in Maharashtra, we showed how voter deletion and voter addition took place, how millions of votes disappear from one place and millions of votes are added in another... We ask the Election Commission, but we get no answer. But... it may take time, but truth will prevail in India, and Amit Shah ji, Modi ji, give as many speeches as you want... but ultimately, truth triumphs in this country. Mahatma Gandhi showed us the way, and we follow that path. Not with hatred, not with violence, but with truth and non-violence, we will defeat Narendra Modi and Amit Shah.

Look, you must have noticed, I mentioned Amit Shah, but look at Modi Ji's face, as my sister said – Modi Ji's confidence is waning, did you see? That's because he also knows that our vote rigging has been exposed, and now there's only a little time left before the whole country finds out the truth.

Brothers and sisters, this vote theft is not just about stealing votes. First and foremost, it is an attack on this Constitution, on Ambedkar's Constitution. This Constitution states that every person should have one vote. So, this vote theft is, first and foremost, an attack on Ambedkar's Constitution, and they run the government by stealing votes. They have destroyed small businesses, implemented a flawed GST, carried out demonetization, created unemployment, and now look at the pollution. All of this is happening because these people are stealing votes, because if they didn't steal votes, they would be thrown out of power... That's the truth.

Brothers and sisters, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the Congress Party workers. There is a battle between two ideologies in this country... one is the RSS ideology, which, as Mohan Bhagwat ji said, is against the truth and can do anything for power, and the other is our ideology... the ideology in your DNA, in your blood, the ideology of truth, the ideology of non-violence, and you fight fearlessly for the Congress Party's ideology in the sun, in storms, in rain. Just as truth is in your DNA, falsehood and vote rigging are in theirs. Brothers and sisters, do not panic. In the end, truth will prevail in this country, and with the power of truth, we will remove the government of Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, and the RSS. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

Greetings! Jai Hind!
