Brazilian model among 25 lakh fakes voted in Haryana Assembly election, EC helped BJP win: Rahul Gandhi

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday alleged that the BJP won the 2024 Haryana Assembly elections on the basis of 25 lakh fake voters and one in every eight voters in the state were fake.

Accusing the Election Commission of helping the BJP win on the basis of duplicate and fake voters, Gandhi presented pictures and records of some of the voters he claimed were fake.

Among the many examples he gave of fake voters was a Brazilian model who allegedly voted 22 times in one polling booth in Rai.

Gandhi used a scan source for the said model and it took him to the official page of this model.

Another example Rahul gave was of a woman who allegedly appears in the Haryana electoral rolls 223 times. The Congress leader also presented records of BJP leaders in Uttar Pradesh who voted in Haryana.

"Why doesn't the EC remove duplicate voters from rolls? Because they help the BJP win," said Gandhi, alleging that a centralised operation was on to facilitate BJP victory.

Gandhi said all exit polls in Haryana had predicted a Congress sweep but the BJP won.

He showed a purported video of Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini dated October 6, 2024, where he is heard saying, "The BJP is forming one-sided government in the state and we have all the arrangements in place. Don't worry."

Gandhi asked what arrangements was Saini referring to and why did he have a "smug smile on his face." He said Haryana had two crore voters and alleged that 28 lakh fake voters helped the BJP win the last Assembly poll.

Gandhi accused the EC of removing 3.5 lakh Congress voters from the Assembly poll rolls. Many of these voters, he said, voted in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls but were not allowed to vote in state polls.

"There was no election in Haryana. There was a theft. This gentleman colluded with the BJP to ensure Congress doesn't win Haryana. Every piece of evidence is from EC records. We have just checked and shown you what the reality of Indian election is," said Gandhi.

He said this system has now been industrialised and can be used in other states.

"We will show you that the same thing will happen in Bihar. We can't help it because electoral rolls come at the last minute. This is a systematic means to kill the Constitution and democracy," he said.
