NEW DELHI: Lok Sabha leader of opposition Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of “stealing” the mandate in the Haryana Assembly elections, claiming that a deliberate plan was executed to convert Congress’s victory into a BJP win. Speaking at a press conference, Rahul Gandhi said the Congress had received “numerous complaints” from its candidates about irregularities during the vote count, suggesting the tampering occurred at the state and national levels. He announced that the party had compiled evidence under what he called the “H Files,” detailing how the alleged manipulation took place. He also criticised the Election Commission and said the democratic process was being subverted, warning that the future of India’s youth was being “destroyed.”
