“Serious complaints from three districts, this is a victory of the system”: Congress on shock defeat in Haryana

After an embarrassing defeat in Haryana, the Congress on Tuesday said that the results in the state were completely unexpected and that serious complaints of rigging had been received from three districts – Hisar, Mahendragarh and Panipat.

“The results in Haryana are completely unexpected, completely surprising and contradictory. Prosecution Jairam Ramesh said in a press conference.

“I think under these circumstances it is not possible for us to accept the results announced today,” the Congressman said, adding that the party has received very serious complaints about the counting process and the functioning of the EVMs in at least three districts.

“There are more to come. We have spoken to our senior colleagues in Haryana and this information is being collected. We hope to be able to submit them to the Electoral Commission in consolidated form tomorrow or the day after. Serious questions have been asked.” We will bring it to the attention of the Electoral Commission.

Ramesh said that what the Congress saw in Haryana today was a victory of manipulation, “a victory of subverting the will of the people and a defeat of transparent democratic processes.”

Congress leader Pawan Khera said this was the “victory of the system” and the “defeat of democracy”. “We cannot accept that. We collect complaints. Our candidates have filed and are still filing complaints with election officials there. In the next few days, with all these complaints, we will soon go to the Election Commission and register our complaint there,” Khera said.

“Such a result was not visible anywhere on site. No one can believe that such an unexpected outcome will happen in Haryana. We’re all surprised.”

“The results are completely unexpected and we would even say that they are unacceptable. The kind of complaints that come in all the time. There are constant complaints about our candidate from three districts, Hisar, Mahendragarh and Panipat. Complaints keep coming about how.” “On some machine batteries that were at 99% charged, we lost, and on the machines that were untouched and whose batteries were at 60-70%, our candidate won,” Khera added.

Earlier in the day, Congress had raised with the European Commission the issue of an “inexplicable slowdown” in updating results on the poll watchdog’s website, urging it to order officials to update accurate figures to avoid “fake news and malicious narratives.” “can be avoided” countered immediately.

The Congress has suffered a historic defeat in Haryana, where the grand old party was sure to win. Despite ruling the state for 10 years, the BJP managed to score another victory. The BJP is expected to win 48-49 seats while the Congress is expected to win 37 seats.
