Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday, 5 November, presented new data from Haryana, alleging that the Election Commission helped the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) win the Assembly elections in the state in 2024.

Gandhi said that several Congress candidates had raised concerns after the results, stating that the outcome did not match their on-ground assessments. He pointed out that most exit polls had predicted a Congress victory, but the final result led to the BJP forming the government in the state.

"It is clear to us that vote chori has now become a system. It has been industrialised, and it can be used in any state. It is going to be used in Bihar, and I am confident that after the Bihar elections we will get the same records. Because the voter list comes out the night before the elections, we can’t do anything beforehand," Gandhi said in his briefing.

During the briefing, Gandhi also played a video clip of Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini speaking to the media two days after the polls, in which Saini said that “arrangements” had been made for the BJP to win. Gandhi questioned what these “arrangements” implied, given the predictions favouring the Congress at the time.

A Brazilian model’s photo used under different names as a registered voter, one woman registered over 223 times, and over 66 voters registered at the address of a BJP worker — here’s a closer look at all the allegations made by Gandhi.

Claim 1: ‘Brazilian Model’ Who Voted 22 Times

Gandhi first presented data claiming that a woman had voted 22 times across 10 booths in the Rai Assembly constituency, except the photograph used was actually of a Brazilian model.

"She voted 22 times in Haryana, across 10 different booths in the state, using multiple names: Seema, Sweety, Rashmi, etc. This suggests a centralised operation, similar to Aland and Mahadevapura. What's shocking is that she's reportedly from Brazil - a Brazilian model, to be specific," Gandhi alleged.

"She's one of the 25 lakh such records in Haryana, which further supports the existence of a centralised operation. The big question remains: what is a Brazilian woman doing on Haryana's electoral list? There's clearly a reason behind it," he further claimed.

Claim 2: 25 Lakh Fake Voters in the State

Gandhi also alleged that the party found over 5,21,619 duplicate voters, 93,174 invalid addresses, and 19,26,351 bulk voters.

"Notice that we have left the last 2 categories empty because the EC now no longer allows us to access it, post Mahadevapura. So what is the Big Picture of Haryana? Haryana - 2 crore voters Vote Chori - 25 lakh (possibly more) Thus, 1 in 8 Voters in Haryana are fake. Despite this massive Vote Chori, the Congress party lost by only 22,779 votes," he alleged.

Claim 3: A Woman Who Appears 100 Times, Another 223 Times

Gandhi showed records of two women from voting lists of Haryana whose names appear 100 times and 223 times respectively.

Claim 4: Same or Blurred Photos of Voters in Multiple Booths

Gandhi then showed lists in which either a voter with the same photos is either appearing in multiple booths or a voters with blurred photos are repeating aceross booths.

"Here again, there are fake and blurred photos. The modus operandi is similar. They have simple names: Mamta, Durga, Sangeeta, Manju, etc., and all have blurred photos. Their names occur in multiple booths. This means it's not being done at the booth level but at a higher level. This is a system," he said.

"They have duplicate photos – 223 photos in 1 booth. A gentleman, Shashank Giri, in Booths 431 and 508: he is voting 14 times. Another person and his brother, Rudrabhishek Jain & Naman Jain: they are voting in Booths 130 and 131, and they are voting 18 times," he claimed.

"The Election Commission can remove duplicates in a second. All they have to do is run a query to identify the same photograph or the same address. But they don't do it. Why? Reason: They are helping the BJP," he alleged.

Claim 5: Two U.P BJP Sarpanchs Also Registered in Haryana

Gandhi showed how two BJP sarpanchs from UP are also registered in Haryana, with their fathers’ names being different in both.

Dalchand Singh, a sarpanch from Uttar Pradesh, and his son Yashveer are registered voters in Haryana as well. While Dalchand’s father’s name appears as Pritam Singh in UP, it appears as Balchand in Haryana.

Prahlad, another sarpanch from Mathura, also appeared multiple times.

Claim 6: Hundreds of Voters Registered at Same Addresses

Gandhi showed data indicating instances where 100 voters were registered at the same address.

At a BJP worker’s address, 66 voters are registered, while at two other addresses, 501 and 106 voters are registered respectively.

"The BJP Vice Chairman of Zila Parishad, Palwal, who lives in House No. 150, and he has 66 voters living in his house. Now, let's go to House No. 265, where 501 voters live. And when you look for them, you can't find them there. Why? So that you can't check whether these people exist or where or how they vote. Another example is House No. 1904, which the list says has 108 voters. But that's not true," he said.

"It is the EC's rule that is there are more than 10 voters registered at the same address, they have to physically verify. Did the EC do that?" he asked.

Claim 7: 3.5 Lakh Voters Deleted Between Lok Sabha and Vidhan Sabha Elections

Gandhi played videos of several voters who had voted in the Lok Sabha elections held in 2024 but found their names missing from the voter lists in Haryana ahead of the Assembly elections a few months later. He claimed that there are 3.5 lakh such voters whose names were deleted.

Claim 8: CEC Gyanesh Kumar's Claim of House Number 0 Being for Homeless People Untrue

Alleging that Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar was involved in manipulating the elections, Gandhi played a clip from a press briefing in which Kumar had claimed that voters with ‘House No 0’ were homeless people.

Gandhi then showed pictures of a voter’s house whose address was registered as ‘House No 0’.

"The CEC said House No. 0 is for homeless people. But we do our homework. So we decided to check everything he says. And when we checked the address, it wasn't for a homeless person. There is a Mr. Narendra who supposedly lives in that house. We understood why the House was numbered 0. Because when we sent someone to look for him, it was impossible to find him. Rather, we physically identified this man in a village," he said.

"And when we checked the address, it wasn't for a homeless person. There is a Mr. Narendra who supposedly lives in that house. We understood why the House was numbered 0. Because when we sent someone to look for him, it was impossible to find him. Rather, we physically identified this man in a village," he claimed.

"The CEC is lying to the people of India openly. This is a method to make voter and address verification difficult. It's not a mistake. It's not about homeless people," he alleged.

Claim 9: Voters Deleted in Bihar S.I.R

Gandhi then brought on stage people from a village in Bihar who claimed that their names were deleted despite having valid documents and completing required processes. They stated that they had voted in the Lok Sabha elections in 2024.
