Priyanka Gandhi Urges Public to Join Congress’ Signature Campaign Against Vote Rigging

admin September 20, 2025 National

New Delhi 20 Sept (PMI) Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi MP has appealed to citizens across the country to participate in the Congress’s ongoing signature campaign against vote rigging. She emphasized that every signature is as important as a vote and vital for protecting the nation’s democratic principles and constitutional values.

In a video message, Priyanka Gandhi said, “Your every signature is as important as your vote. Join us and show your support for safeguarding our democratic principle of ‘one person, one vote’.” She further added that the campaign is aimed at ensuring respect for every citizen’s vote and right to franchise.

The signature drive is being carried out across various parts of the country and will continue until October 15. The Congress party has stated that the purpose of this campaign is to ensure free and fair elections while raising public awareness against vote theft.

Priyanka Gandhi stressed that everyone must unite to uphold a vibrant democracy, and every signature is a meaningful contribution to this struggle.

This is not the party’s first such initiative against electoral malpractice. Recently, under Rahul Gandhi’s leadership, the party also conducted the “Voter Adhikar Yatra,” a 16-day campaign across 20 districts of Bihar. The yatra, which began on August 17 in Sasaram and concluded on September 1, 2025, with a public meeting in Patna, aimed to highlight the importance of protecting voting rights.

Rahul Gandhi described the campaign as a struggle to safeguard democratic rights and stressed that every citizen must remain vigilant in defending their vote and constitutional freedoms. Priyanka Gandhi reiterated the same message in her video, calling on people to stand united in defense of India’s democratic system.(pressmediaofindia,com)

Opposition parties opposing women’s quota, delimitation for politics: Kishan Reddy New Delhi, April 17 (PMI): Union Minister G Kishan Reddy on Friday accused the opposition parties of resisting the Women’s Reservation and Delimitation Bills for political mileage. Talking to newsmen, he asserted that the Centre’s proposed formula ensures fairness to all states, rejecting claims of injustice to southern regions. Reddy alleged that parties fear losing dominance if new leadership emerges through reservations and constituency changes. He also criticized regional parties for spreading “false propaganda” and called for a public debate on the issue. “Speaking in the Lok Sabha, the Prime Minister, the Home Minister, and the Central Government delivered a very clear message that no state would suffer any injustice whatsoever. Unlike the manner in which the delimitation was conducted when the Congress party was in power, we are introducing a Bill that is favorable and acceptable to all, ensuring equitable justice for every state. Despite this, the opposition continues to engage in false propaganda within Parliament. Citing census data, they claimed that the population in the South was declining and that the region would be penalized for having successfully implemented family planning measures. Initially, their argument was that if the constituency delimitation were to be undertaken following the census, the South would inevitably face injustice. However, today, recognizing the sentiments of the people and ensuring that the number of seats in the South does not diminish, the Modi government has introduced a formula involving a 50% increase”, he noted. Further, Kishan Reddy alleged that from the very beginning, it has been a calculated conspiracy by the Majlis party to ensure that the women are denied any form of political reservation. Statements made by Majlis party leaders specifically Akbaruddin Owaisi suggesting that the entry of the women into politics would give rise to new complications and problems, are officially recorded in the Assembly records. Fearing that a delimitation of constituencies in Hyderabad could jeopardize their own seats, the Majlis party is now conspiring in tandem with both the Congress and the BRS parties . Having held consultations with these two parties, the Majlis party is actively campaigning against both the proposed delimitation and the provision of Women’s reservations”, he remarked. (PMI)
