Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday alleged that the Prime Minister, Home Minister, and Haryana Chief Minister are not legitimately in government and urged country’s Gen Z to peacefully express their desire to restore democracy.
Responding to questions on the evidence he cites of alleged fake voting benefiting the BJP in Haryana, Gandhi said, “We are informing the people of India that PM and HM are not legitimately in government. That the government has been stolen.

“We won 73 postal ballots, but BJP won 17. In Haryana, postal ballots went in a different direction from main ballots. We lost by 22,000 votes in eight constituencies, and a plan was in place to convert a Congress win into a loss using fake voters. As many as 25 lakh votes in Haryana were fake,” he alleged, asserting that the Haryana mandate was “stolen.”
