After Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi made serious allegations of ‘vote theft’ over alleged voting rigging in the Haryana Assembly elections, Union Minister Kiren Rijiju hit back sharply at him. In response to this statement of Rijiju, the reaction of Congress leader Kumari Selja also came forward, due to which this political rhetoric has become more intense.
Rahul Gandhi’s latest allegation
Congress MP Rahul Gandhi held a press conference on Wednesday and shared ‘H files’, in which he made fresh allegations of ‘theft’ of more than 25 lakh votes in Haryana elections.
Rahul Gandhi claimed, ‘We have the term ‘H files’ and it is about how an entire state was stolen. We suspected that this was happening not in any one constituency, but at the state level and national level. We decided to focus on Haryana… all our estimates were reversed. He also said that he had similar experiences in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra also.

Union Minister Kiren Rijiju gave a strong reply to Rahul Gandhi’s allegations and accused him of targeting the credibility of the country.
Rijiju said, ‘Rahul Gandhi is targeting not only the BJP but also the credibility of our country’s system and its institutions… Questioning the Election Commission, our democratic system means that you are targeting the country, our system. This is a well thought out conspiracy.
He further alleged that many forces in India and abroad are using Rahul Gandhi ‘as a pawn’ to damage India’s image.
