Rahul flags Brazilian model’s photo on multiple Haryana voter IDs, alleges large-scale voter fraud
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.
