Rahul: 'EC colluded with BJP for Haryana poll win'
The Congress leader cites electoral list data to claim that 25 lakh entries were fake
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday (November 5) cited electoral list data from Haryana to claim that 25 lakh entries were "fake" and the assembly polls last year were "stolen", as he accused the Election Commission (EC) of colluding with the BJP to make them win.
'EC colluded with BJP for Haryana win'
The Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha said he is questioning the EC and the democratic process in the country and therefore, is doing so with 100 per cent proof.
Rahul alleged that the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) and the two election commissioners colluded with the BJP to ensure its victory in Haryana and claimed that "they are in partnership" with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
'Operation Sarkar Chori' was launched to convert the landslide Congress victory into loss in Haryana, the former party president alleged.
He also alleged that CEC Gyanesh Kumar is "lying" to the people of India when he stated that house number zero is given to homeless people and that is the reality of zero number houses.
Addressing a press conference at the Indira Bhawan in Delhi, Rahul cited the electoral list of Haryana to claim that 25,41,144 were fake voters with multiple examples of duplicate voters, invalid addresses and bulk voters.
Claims unfounded: EC official
In its defence, the EC called Rahul’s claims unfounded, stating that no appeals were filed against the electoral rolls in Haryana,
"Why were no claims and objections raised by INC's BLAs during revision to avoid multiple names?" an EC source said on Wednesday.
Booth-level agents, or BLAs, are appointed by political parties to oversee voting and flag irregularities, if any.

EC officials question Congress' silence on Haryana voter appeals
Election Commission officials responded during the press conference, clarifying that no appeals had been filed against the electoral rolls in Haryana. “What were Congress agents doing at the polling booths? Their role is to raise objections if a voter has already cast their ballot or if there are doubts about a voter’s identity,” an EC official familiar with the matter was quoted as saying.
The officials also urged Rahul Gandhi to clarify his position on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter lists, a process he has criticised, alleging selective deletions by the EC. “Is Rahul Gandhi now endorsing the SIR, which involves removing duplicate, deceased, or relocated voters and verifying citizenship, or does he still oppose it?” another official asked, as quoted by the Hindustan Times.
