PRAYAGRAJ, Oct. 26 -- Former chief minister of Chhattisgarh and Congress general secretary Bhupesh Baghel addressed a social justice convention in Prayagraj on Sunday, where he accused the BJP of benefiting from "vote theft" and urged citizens to safeguard their democratic rights. Organised by the Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee's backward classes department at Sardar Patel Sansthan in Alopibagh, the "Vote Bachao, Desh Bachao" event drew farmers, labourers, and members of disadvantaged communities. During the conference, Congress leaders raised concerns over electoral practices and demanded adequate representation for Other Backward Classes (OBCs) in jobs, reservations and access to resources. Baghel pointed out that Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi had repeatedly raised the issue of alleged vote theft, citing evidence. He said concerns over the security of voting rights were growing and accused the BJP-led government in UP of injustice towards OBCs, farmers and labourers. UPCC president Aradhana Mishra 'Mona' described the right to vote as fundamental to democracy and appealed to people to come forward to safeguard it. Congress's UP in-charge Rajendra Pal Gautam said the party was fighting to protect citizens' rights and urged people to attend a rally at Ramlila Maidan in Delhi on November 1. Anil Jaihind, national president of the Congress's OBC department, Congress Legislature Party leader Virendra Chaudhary, Manoj Yadav, president of the UP Congress OBC department, former Rajya Sabha MP Rajmani Patel, Congress co-in-charge Varun Chaudhary and several other party leaders attended the convention.
