TL;DR:Ā In a full-on filmi style protest š¬, INDIA bloc MPs marched into Parliament wearing white T-shirts with the face of ā124-year-oldā Minta Devi š². They shouted about #VoteChori, claiming the Election Commission messed up Biharās voter list. Later, fact-checkers found Minta Devi is actually just 35 šābut the gaffe has become a rallying cry against alleged electoral fraud.

š New Delhi turned into a political stageĀ today š„ as INDIA bloc MPs gathered outside the Parliamentās Makar Dwar, looking like a cricket team ready for a century celebration š. But the number on everyoneās mind wasnāt 100āit was 124. Why? Because each MPās T-shirt proudly displayed the face of Minta Devi, a voter from Bihar listed as being 124 years oldĀ in the draft electoral rolls. On the back, the slogan screamed: ā124 Not Out!āĀ š„³
š¤ Rahul Gandhi, never missing a punchline, told media, āIf the Election Commission canāt even get ages right, how will they get democracy right?āĀ š¤ He called Minta Deviās bizarre listing a symptom of a bigger diseaseā#VoterFraud and #VoteTheft.
š Congress Whip Manickam TagoreĀ didnāt hold back either. He accused the Election Commission of becoming a āBJP departmentā š¢, saying the #SIR (Special Intensive Revision) process in Bihar was nothing but a voter roll massacre.
š³ļø Whatās the fuss about SIR?
The Special Intensive RevisionĀ is supposed to clean up the voter list before elections š§¹. But opposition leaders allege that in Bihar, instead of fixing errors, itās full of fake names, dead voters, and magical centenariansĀ šµāØ.
Minta Deviās officialĀ age of 124 has now gone viral š±, turning her into the protestās mascot. In reality, NDTV dug into her Aadhaar and found sheās 35 years oldāmeaning sheās still decades away from ā124 Not Outā š. Officials say it was a ādata entry mistakeā š„ļø, but the opposition insists this is proof of a larger #ElectionScam.
š Drama, Memes & Street Buzz
Within hours, social media was flooded with memes šø. One showed Minta Devi with a cricket bat saying, āEven Sachin retired earlier!āĀ š. Another joked, āGovernment will soon launch a pension scheme for the youthāabove 120 years old!ā
In Patna, chai shops ā became mini political panels, with locals laughing at the error but also nodding seriously about the risk of #Democracy being compromised.
š§© From Peopleās Perspective
For the working class, this isnāt just about a funny typo š . Every wrong entry in the voter list means a real personās voice can be lost. A farmer in Begusarai told MediaFx, āIf they can make a 35-year-old into 124, they can also make a living man disappear from the list.āĀ This hits the poor hardestāthey canāt afford lawyers or endless trips to government offices to get their name fixed.
š¢ MediaFx Opinion
This T-shirt protest may look like a PR stunt š¤³, but itās also a mirror to the rot in our electoral process. If the voter list is not accurate, elections are a jokeāand a joke at the expense of the poorest. From the peopleās perspective, what matters is transparency and accountability. Because without that, the slogan ā124 Not Outā could soon become āDemocracy All Outā ššØ.
