Congress’s EVMs fraud charge at BJP: 13 Haryana seats under team Kharge’s radar

Bharatiya Janata Party’s Haryana assembly election win didn’t go well with the Congress, which alleged irregularities in the counting of votes on the day their saffron rivals secured a third straight win.
First, the Congress alleged irregularities in seven assembly seats, and now a fresh memorandum submitted by the grand old party to the Election Commission of India points to “irregularities” in the vote-counting process in 13 Haryana assembly seats, the Indian Express reported.
Of the 13 seats, the BJP claimed 12, while one was secured by the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD). Among these 13 seats, 11 witnessed direct contests between the BJP and Congress, one had a contest between the INLD and Congress, and one had a competition between the BJP and an Independent candidate.
The updated memorandum, submitted by team Kharge on Friday, apart from the Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) fraud allegations included a complaint from the Congress’s Panipat candidate Varinder Kumar.
According to an Indian Express report, Kumar alleged that many EVM control units during counting showed a 99% battery level. He also claimed that his election agents were not allowed to carry copies of Form 17C, which records the number of votes cast in a polling station, to the counting halls.
He also claimed that the agents were unable to match the data, which led to the suspicion of tampering.
