Congress, vote chori campaign
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had earlier said that "EC is indulging in vote chori" and that it "is doing it for the BJP." Upping the ante over Rahul's poll rigging claims, the Congress had launched a web portal for people to register and demand accountability from the poll panel against what it called "vote chori", and express support for the demand for digital voter rolls.
On Monday, Rahul said the campaign has turned into a "massive mass movement" with more than 15 lakh support certificates downloaded and over 10 lakh missed calls received since the launch of the portal for it.
