After the complaint alleging rigging in the Haryana assembly elections was rejected, the Congress on Friday (November 1) responded to the Election Commission (EC). The Congress wrote a letter alleging that the Election Commission did not give a clear answer to its complaints. A mere formality was done in the name of investigation. In a letter written by Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh and other Congress leaders, it was said that the Election Commission’s reply has been written in an insulting tone. If the Election Commission continues to use such language, the party will have no option but to take legal recourse for such comments. The Election Commission has given itself a clean chit. We do not know who is advising the Commission, but it seems that the Commission has forgotten that it is a body established under the Constitution. Earlier, the Election Commission had rejected the Congress’ complaint on October 29. In a 1600-page reply, the EC had described the allegations as baseless, false and factless. Congress’ reply to Election Commission… Election Commission had said – unrest and chaos can be created Election Commission had said in its reply, ‘Making irresponsible allegations during sensitive times like voting and counting can create unrest and chaos. Citing 5 cases in the last one year, the Commission advised the Congress party and said that it should be careful in making allegations and avoid habitually attacking electoral operations without any proof. Voting was held in one phase in the state i.e. on October 5 and the results were declared on October 8. During the counting of votes, Congress had complained to the Election Commission that some EVMs were working on 99 percent battery capacity, while some were working on 60-70 and less than 80 percent battery capacity. Congress had complained on October 13, alleged rigging Congress had complained to the Election Commission on October 13, claiming EVM tampering in Haryana elections. Congress leader Pawan Khera had said that EVM tampering was found during counting of votes on 20 seats. Candidates from these seats had filed written and oral complaints. Congress has sent their list to the Election Commission.
Kheda had said that it is strange that Congress candidates have lost on those seats in which machines had 99% battery charge. On the other hand, machines with 60-70% battery charge are those on which Congress candidates have won. On the day of counting, some machines were 99% charged and the rest were normal machines with 60-70% charge. Our demand is that those machines should be sealed and kept safe till the investigation is completed. Read full news Haryana Congress had also filed a petition in the Supreme Court
