Ahmedabad, Feb 13 (NationPress) The Gujarat Congress has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Election Commission of conspiring together.

On Thursday, the State Congress described the alleged actions as a "deliberate scheme" intended to strip millions of legitimate voters of their rights.

The party highlighted what it refers to as widespread irregularities in processing Form-7 objections.

During a press conference in Ahmedabad, Gujarat Pradesh Congress Committee President Amit Chavda raised concerns over the fluctuating statistics provided by the Election Commission regarding Form-7 applications, which are utilized to contest names on the electoral register.

"Initially, the Election Commission reported receiving 12,59,229 Form-7 objections, then adjusted it to over 9.50 lakh, and finally settled on 1,83,235 objections. Why are these numbers inconsistent?" he questioned.

Chavda claimed that very few Form-7 applications were submitted until January 15, even though the deadline for objections against presumed fraudulent voters was set for January 18.

"This sudden surge isn't a mere coincidence. It appears to be part of a well-orchestrated plot to deny lakhs of rightful voters their voting privileges," he stated.

Pointing to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) draft electoral list released in December 2025, Chavda alleged that around 74 lakh voters had been removed from the rolls in Gujarat.

He also mentioned the Navsari Lok Sabha constituency, arguing that over 12 percent of voters in the state—approximately 62 lakh—were categorized as questionable.

The Congress leader questioned how BJP members allegedly secured printed Form-7 applications in sizable quantities and under what authorization these reached the party's Kamalam office.

He demanded to know the identity of those who submitted bundles of forms to the Election Commission and insisted on the release of CCTV footage from election offices.

"In some instances, individuals were unaware that forms were submitted in their names. There are cases of forged signatures and incorrect addresses," he alleged.

Chavda further asserted that filing fraudulent Form-7 applications is a criminal act and called for accountability from those involved, including election officials, if found complicit.

"Individuals who sought to strip citizens of their voting rights will face consequences," he added.

Referencing district-wise statistics after the February 10 verification deadline, he noted that "in Anand, 69,057 Form-7 applications were filed but only 747 were approved; in Kheda, 1,35,174 were submitted with 1,025 accepted; and in Bharuch, 91,169 objections were logged with 804 accepted."

He claimed this indicated that between 95 and 99 percent of objections were denied.

Chavda mentioned that the Congress might approach the Supreme Court if necessary to contest what they perceive as an effort to undermine electoral rights.
