NEW DELHI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday alleged that the BJP won the 2024 Haryana Assembly elections with the help of 25 lakh fake voters, claiming that one out of every eight voters in the state was bogus.
Addressing a press conference, Gandhi accused the Election Commission of aiding the BJP’s victory by allowing fake and duplicate voters to remain on the rolls. He displayed photographs and records of individuals he claimed were fictitious voters.
Gandhi cited several examples, including that of a Brazilian model who allegedly voted 22 times at a polling booth in Rai. He said that when he scanned the image of the model from the voter list, it led to her official profile online. Another example he shared was of a name that appeared 223 times across different voter lists in Haryana.
The Congress leader also claimed that BJP leaders from Uttar Pradesh were among those who cast votes in Haryana. “Why doesn’t the Election Commission remove duplicate voters from the lists? Because they help the BJP win,” Gandhi alleged, adding that a “centralised operation” was being run to ensure the BJP’s victory.
He further said that all exit polls had predicted a Congress win in Haryana, yet the BJP secured the majority. Gandhi also showed an alleged video of Haryana Chief Minister Naib Singh Saini from October 6, 2024, in which Saini could be heard saying, “The BJP is forming a one-sided government in the state and we have all the arrangements. Don’t worry.”
