Haryana Energy Minister Anil Vij reacts to Rahul Gandhi’s “Vote Theft” statement – “First, Rahul Gandhi should inform the IAEA how many bombs he has; he keeps dropping fake bombs every day.”

“Rahul Gandhi talks about dividing and breaking the nation, while we all are Indians, all Hindustanis” – Anil Vij

Chandigarh, 5 November 2025

Haryana’s Energy Minister, Sh. Anil Vij today launched a sharp attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over his recent “vote theft” press conference, accusing him of spreading confusion and attempting to divide society through his statements. Sh. Vij said that “Rahul Gandhi keeps dropping fake bombs every day. I want to tell him that before making such baseless statements, he should inform the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) how many bombs he possesses and how many atom bombs, how many hydrogen bombs, and how many fake bombs. He continues to make allegations without any factual basis.”

Sh.Vij made these remarks while responding to questions from media persons today.

“Rahul Gandhi makes divisive statements, but we all are Indians” – Vij

Responding to Rahul Gandhi’s controversial statement about the Indian Army, Minister Anil Vij said that such comments are not only an insult to the Army but also an attempt to divide the nation along caste and community lines. He said that “Rahul Gandhi repeatedly makes statements that divide and weaken the country.  But the truth is that we are all one, we are all Indians, we are all Hindustanis. His goal seems to be to divide people into different sections and make them clash with each other, which is extremely unfortunate, he added.”

“Modi Ji never steals votes, BJP governments are formed with integrity” – Vij

Reacting strongly to Rahul Gandhi’s claim that Prime Minister Narendra Modi cannot form a government anywhere without vote theft, Anil Vij said that “Modi Ji does not indulge in vote theft. Every BJP government is formed with honesty, transparency, and public trust. By making such unsubstantiated statements, Rahul Gandhi is questioning the integrity of the nation’s democratic institutions.”

“Rahul Gandhi’s vote theft claim is just another fake bomb” – Vij

The Cabinet Minister referred to Rahul Gandhi’s recent press conference, in which Gandhi alleged that a Brazilian woman voted 22 times at 10 different polling booths in Haryana. Calling this claim completely baseless, Vij said that “Rahul Gandhi should now officially declare how many types of bombs he possesses, since he acts like the IAEA himself, constantly making empty statements. He has dropped many such ‘fake bombs’ before, and now he is doing it again. He says he showed a list, but did not clarify how many polls it referred to and these are two different things. Mistakes in voter rolls can happen, but if a woman voted multiple times, why didn’t the polling agent stop her, Sh. Vij questioned?”

“Akhilesh and Rahul Gandhi’s words and actions are poles apart” – Vij

Commenting on Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav’s corruption allegations against the BJP, Anil Vij said that “Akhilesh Yadav should first look at the scams during his own tenure. Everyone knows what happened during Lalu Prasad Yadav’s rule. Rahul Gandhi even brought a convicted person on stage and showcased him, this clearly shows the hypocrisy and double standards of these political parties.”
