In a shocking press conference on Wednesday, Rahul Gandhi made fresh allegations of large-scale voter fraud in Haryana. He claimed that a Brazilian model’s photograph was used 22 times in different polling booths under fake names such as Seema, Sweety, and Saraswati. Ending his statement with a strong accusation, Rahul Gandhi called it clear evidence of “vote chori” and electoral manipulation.
Rahul Gandhi’s New “H-Files” Exposé
Addressing the media from the Congress headquarters in New Delhi, Rahul Gandhi unveiled what he termed “The H-Files.” He alleged that the Election Commission acted under pressure from the BJP to alter the Haryana assembly election results.
“Who is this lady who appears 22 times? She has multiple names, Seema, Sweety, Saraswati, Rashmi, and Vilma, but she’s actually a Brazilian model,” Rahul Gandhi said, holding up the photo as proof. He claimed that Congress was “robbed” of a victory, saying, “We are sure a plan was put in motion to convert our win into a loss.”
According to him, 25 lakh fake voters were added to the electoral roll in Haryana including 5.21 lakh duplicates, 93,000 invalid voters, and 19 lakh bulk entries. “That means one in every eight voters is fake,” Rahul Gandhi asserted.
Election Commission Rejects Allegations
The Election Commission quickly dismissed Rahul Gandhi’s accusations, clarifying that there had been no formal complaints from Congress polling agents. Officials asked, “What were Congress agents doing at polling stations if such fake voters existed?”
They also questioned Gandhi’s changing stance on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process, which Congress had previously opposed.
Political Reactions and Impact
This was Rahul Gandhi’s third press conference alleging manipulation of voter lists. Earlier, he accused the Election Commission of mass voter deletions and promised to reveal a “hydrogen bomb” of proof. His repeated attacks have reignited the debate on election transparency and the credibility of the poll body.
