Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has alleged large-scale voter fraud in the recent Haryana elections, claiming that around 2.5 million votes were stolen. During his address, the LoP showed a photograph of a woman and alleged that she had voted 22 times under different names, including Seema, Sweety, and Vimala.

He further claimed that the woman in the photo was actually a Brazilian model whose image was misused to cast multiple votes.

The LoP on Wednesday launched fresh allegations against the Election Commission, this time targeting the Haryana Assembly elections. Holding a press conference titled “H-Files”, he claimed that large-scale voter fraud took place in the state, accusing the BJP of manipulating postal ballots and fake voter IDs.

At the start of his address, the LoP remembered Guru Nanak Dev and said the issue was not limited to any one constituency. He alleged that, for the first time in Haryana’s electoral history, there was a mismatch between postal ballots and actual votes.

Displaying the photograph of Brazilian model, Gandhi claimed the same image had been used on multiple voter IDs under different names. He alleged that BJP members used these fake identities to cast votes at 22 different polling stations.

The LoP further alleged that 2.5 million votes were stolen in five different categories across the state. He claimed that over 521,000 fake voters were identified and that one in every eight votes in Haryana was fraudulent. “This is why Congress lost,” he said.

He also accused the Election Commission of inaction, saying it could easily remove duplicate entries but was deliberately avoiding it. “If the Election Commission wanted, this duplication could be eliminated instantly. Their silence shows they are helping the BJP,” he alleged.
