The Congress party has expressed serious reservations regarding the integrity of the Haryana Assembly election results. At a press conference in New Delhi, party leaders highlighted issues with the counting process and EVM operations across several districts, suggesting manipulative practices may have influenced the outcome.
Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge labeled the results as unexpected and emphasized ongoing assessments of the public mandate. Complaints regarding EVM discrepancies, particularly battery-related anomalies, have been cited from multiple constituencies, with the party aiming to consolidate evidence before engaging with the Election Commission.
Party officials pointed to the election's apparent departure from predicted results as evidence of systemic manipulation. Despite a setback, Congress leaders reiterated their commitment to challenging what they describe as anti-democratic pressures from the ruling establishment.
