Congress Alleges EVM Irregularities After Haryana Election Defeat

Following an unexpected loss to the BJP, Congress is investigating claims of discrepancies in electronic voting machines and internal party issues.

The Congress party held a high-level review meeting to analyze its unexpected defeat in the Haryana assembly elections, where BJP won 48 out of 90 seats.
Congress leaders have submitted complaints to the Election Commission, alleging discrepancies in EVMs, including unusually high battery charges in some machines.
Internal party infighting and the failure to form alliances, particularly with AAP, were identified as potential factors contributing to Congress's poor performance.
A technical team has been established by Congress to investigate the alleged EVM issues, which the party claims might have impacted the election results.
The BJP's victory defied exit polls and was attributed to strategic voter mobilization and managing local dynamics, according to political analysts.
