Accusing the ruling BJP of manipulation, the Congress plans to challenge the results with the Election Commission, citing surprising, counterintuitive outcomes.

The Congress party has raised serious concerns regarding the integrity of the counting process in the recent Haryana Assembly elections. Allegations of EVM malfunction and manipulation have prompted the party to approach the Election Commission to address these issues.

At a press conference, Congress leaders accused the ruling BJP of subverting the democratic process, describing the unexpected results as a victory of manipulation over democracy. General Secretary Jairam Ramesh and AICC media head Pawan Khera highlighted discrepancies and alleged conspiracies in several districts.

The party insists that the results are counterintuitive to ground realities and demand a thorough review of the EVM functionality. They plan to consolidate evidence and present it to the Election Commission, rejecting the current tally as invalid due to serious concerns about democratic fairness.
