Chief Minister M. K. Stalin has said that ECI had effectively become “the BJP’s poll-rigging machinery.’ The charge has been made in a public statement supporting the electoral fraud allegations made by Congress leader

Rahul Gandhi concerning the 2024 Haryana assembly elections, asserting that serious doubts have emerged over the legitimacy of the ruling BJP’s victory.

Rahul Gandhi, Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, claimed that approximately 2.5 million voters—equivalent to 12.5 per cent of Haryana’s electorate—were “fake” entries, and that the Congress lost eight seats by narrow margins of just 22 000 votes. He said his party’s overall deficit amounted to 118 000 votes, arguing that this pointed to systematic manipulation of the polls.
