Allegations of significant electoral malpractice have surfaced following the Haryana Assembly elections, with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi at the forefront. Gandhi claims that approximately 2.5 million votes were ‘stolen’ from the electorate, raising serious questions about the fairness of the polls. During a press conference, he displayed a photo, asserting it belonged to a Brazilian model whose identity was allegedly exploited to cast votes repeatedly. He detailed how the same image appeared on voter IDs used at 22 distinct polling booths under different names like Seema and Sweety. Gandhi accused the BJP of orchestrating this fraud, pointing to manipulated postal ballots and fake voter identification as key tactics. He also voiced strong criticism against the Election Commission, accusing them of failing to address duplicate voter entries that he believes could be easily removed, thus implying complicity with the BJP. The allegations suggest a systemic issue affecting numerous constituencies across the state.
