handigarh/Faridabad, November 15. Haryana Pradesh Congress Committee president Rao Narendra Singh accused the BJP of manipulating votes to secure victory in Bihar after allegedly “stealing the mandate” in Haryana. He claimed that 65 lakh voter names were deleted and 21 lakh new names were added in the guise of SIR (Systematic Identification of Roles) ahead of the Bihar polls—yet the Election Commission has provided no explanation. “The Election Commission is functioning as the BJP’s B-Team,” he charged.
Rao alleged that open violations of the Model Code of Conduct took place during the Bihar elections, but the Election Commission failed to take any action. He further said the BJP was “tampering with EVMs, manipulating votes, and even interfering with battery units to steal governments.”
Rao was addressing Congress workers on Sunday during the “Vote Chor – Gaddi Chhod” campaign event held in Faridabad. He said the BJP intends to change the Constitution, while Congress leaders such as Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi are fighting to protect democracy. “We must stand united and firm in this struggle,” he said. He added that Congress would never allow any tampering with or dilution of the Constitution drafted by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and shaped by India’s freedom fighters.
“Congress has a history of fighting, not bowing,” he said, urging party workers to take the fight against “vote theft” to every booth, village and household so that people understand the reality of the BJP.
1.52 lakh fake votes detected in Faridabad: Rao
Rao claimed that 1.52 lakh bogus votes were detected in Faridabad district alone—58,476 in Prithla, 23,500 in NIT Faridabad, 14,365 in Badkhal, 10,765 in Ballabgarh, 10,523 in Faridabad Assembly segment, and 34,443 in Tigaon.
Several senior Congress leaders were present at the event, including co-incharge Jitendra Baghel, district president Baljit Kaushik, MLA Raghubir Tevatia, former MP Avtar Bhadana, former Badkhal candidate Vijay Pratap, Rohit Nagar (Tigaon), Parag Sharma (Ballabgarh), PCC delegates Priyanka Aggarwal and Yogesh Dhingra, district in-charge Sudhir Chaudhary, HPCC Vichar Vibhag chairman Vinod Kaushik, women district chiefs Sunita Fagna (Faridabad) and Savita Chaudhary (Palwal), as well as several other prominent leaders and a large number of party workers.
Sharp Questions Raised Against the Election Commission
Rao intensified his attack on the Election Commission, calling it the BJP’s “B-Team.” He alleged that ₹10,000 was transferred to women voters in Bihar as an inducement—an open violation of the election code. “Even free train travel was arranged from several states to transport people to Bihar during elections, but the Election Commission did not take any action,” he said.
BJP Illegally Formed Government in Haryana: Rao
Rao accused the BJP of forming an “illegitimate government” in Haryana in 2024 by “stealing the mandate” from the Congress. He claimed that in his own constituency, Narnaul, 85 of 155 booths recorded EVM battery levels at 99 percent, which he flagged to the Returning Officer. “They dismissed it citing technical reasons,” he said.
BJP Leaders Now Predicting Election Results in Advance
He also questioned how BJP leaders appeared to know the Bihar results beforehand. “Union Home Minister Amit Shah predicted that the Mahagathbandhan would be wiped out by the afternoon of November 14. Haryana CM Nayab Saini also claimed that arrangements were in place and the BJP would return to power. How did they know in advance?” Rao asked.
People Suffering Under 11 Years of BJP Rule
Rao further said that in 11 years of BJP rule, every section of society is suffering. “The poor are becoming poorer, while corporate houses like Adani and Ambani continue to grow richer,” he said. He added that Haryana tops the unemployment charts, whereas the Congress government earlier undertook massive development works across villages. He listed projects including the medical university in Mewat, and medical colleges and power plants in Sonipat and Karnal.
