Gyanesh Kumar implements ‘vote chori’, Amit Shah operationalises it, and Modi Ji does the whole planning,” he said, while addressing the gathering.“I have more than 45 defamation cases against me. But from every stage when I say Modi does vote chori (theft), no case is filed against me. Because they fear that if a case is filed, it will become a legal hassle and they will be entangled in the mess,” he said. He added that Congress is a protector of the Constitution, adding that Modi, Shah and Gyanesh Kumar know “they can’t escape from us.”“PM Modi, Amit Shah and CEC Gyanesh Kumar will face justice and pay the price for what they have done,” he added.Gandhi said India used to have a world-class education system earlier, but now pellet guns are being used against student protesters.© The Indian Express Pvt LtdPavneet Singh Chadha is the Goa Correspondent of The Indian Express.
