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.

Rahul Gandhi questions 'never before' postal vote trend in Haryana
“ The exit polls said that the Congress will get from 58,54 to 62 seats. Some are giving BJP 20. Some are giving BJP 28. But it is very clear that it is a massive sweep. The other thing that was surprising to us was that the first time in Haryana’s electoral history ever postal votes were different from the actual voting. Normally postal votes and actual votes are directionally similar. And here the Congress gets 73 seats in postal ballots and the BJP gets 17 and this has never happened in Haryana before,” says Rahul Gandhi.
