New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday intensified his ‘vote chori’ (vote theft) charge against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Election Commission, alleging large-scale voter fraud in the 2024 Haryana Assembly elections.
Gandhi, citing what he described as “100 percent proof,” claimed that around 25 lakh fake votes, constituting nearly 12 percent of the State’s electorate, were cast, terming it a case of “systematic manipulation” that allegedly turned a potential Congress victory into defeat.
The Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha also presented slides highlighting alleged discrepancies in the voter rolls, including a striking example in which the photograph of a Brazilian model purportedly appeared on multiple voter identity cards issued under different names — Seema, Sweety, and Saraswati — which, he claimed, were used to cast votes 22 times. "The lady is one of 25 lakh such people. What is a Brazilian person doing on voters list in Haryana,” he asks.
"The Election Commission can remove duplicates in a second. Why don't they do it? Reason: they are helping the BJP," he added.
Gandhi also showed a clip from the press conference of Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, just days after the polling and questioned why he appeared so confident and "smiling" despite several exit polls predicting a clear win for the Congress.

New York/Washington (PTI): US President Donald Trump has repeated his claim of resolving the India-Pakistan conflict and asserted that Islamabad's leadership credited him for saving millions of lives.
"We stopped a potential nuclear war between Pakistan and India. And the head of Pakistan, a highly respected General, he's a Field Marshal and also the Prime Minister of Pakistan, said President Trump saved 10 million lives, maybe more...,” Trump said Monday.
He made these remarks at Mar-a-Lago, Florida, flanked by Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, Navy Secretary John Phelan, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
“You know, eight planes were shot down. That war was starting to rage, and he actually said the other day that President Trump saved 10 million lives, maybe more. So we solved all these wars. The only one I haven't solved yet is Russia, Ukraine,” he said.

Since May 10, when Trump announced on social media that India and Pakistan had agreed to a “full and immediate” ceasefire after a “long night” of talks mediated by Washington, he has repeated his claim over 60 times that he “helped settle” the tensions between the two neighbours.
New Delhi has consistently denied any third-party intervention.
India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in retaliation for the April 22 Pahalgam attack that killed 26 civilians.
India and Pakistan reached an understanding on May 10 to end the conflict after four days of intense cross-border drone and missile strikes.
