Overview
- Rahul Gandhi claims a centrally coordinated operation inserted over 25 lakh fake or duplicate voters in Haryana, alleging an effort to tilt the Assembly results.
- Presenting what he called "The H Files," Gandhi cited purported data points such as identical photographs across thousands of entries and repeated use of a model’s image on voter IDs.
- The BJP rejected the allegations, with Tarun Chugh dismissing them as baseless and Karnataka BJP leaders framing the claims as a preemptive excuse tied to upcoming Bihar polls.
- BJP figures challenged Gandhi’s past criticism of EVMs and urged him to take his assertions to court if he believes the rolls or machines are compromised.
- One report said the Election Commission termed the charges unfounded and noted no formal appeals on rolls were filed, while no independent investigation was announced in the coverage.
