Rahul's claims on 'vote chori' unfounded: EC
The Political and Business Daily
|November 06, 2025
RAHUL GANDHI'S vote manipulation charge is "unfounded" as no appeals were filed against the electoral rolls in Haryana, Election Commission officials said on Wednesday.
-
The poll body officials were reacting to Gandhi's claim that 25 lakh entries were "fake" and that the Haryana assembly polls last year were "stolen".
Poll body officials also questioned why Congress’ booth agents did not flag voters who had cast vote multiple times in the Haryana assembly elections in October 2024.
"Why were no claims and objections raised by INC's Booth Level Agents during revision to avoid multiple names?" an official said countering Gandhi's allegation.
Booth-level agents or BLAs are appointed by political parties to flag irregularities, if any, in electoral rolls.
