BJP National Spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla took a jibe at the Congress for first celebrating their victory in Haryana and then questioning the Election commission over alleged mismatch in voter data.
"At 8.30-9.00 am Pawan Khera was distributing Jalebis, around 11.30 their spokespersons started criticizing the Election Commission, by 12 noon Jairam Ramesh started to raise questions on the country's institutions and by 2pm Congress will begin to question the intelligence of the voters. Be it J&K or Haryana, Congress has been given the message that pehalwan, jawan, nau jawan, kisan sab karte hain Modi ka samman aur Rahul Gandhi hai nafrat ki dukaan..." he said. The Congress leader Pawan Khera alleged there is a discrepancy in the vote count being reported by the Election Commission (EC) on television. "There is a mismatch in the actual number of rounds counted and the number of rounds being shown on the television through the Election Commission data. The EC data is lagging behind; they are still showing 4th or the 5th found data while 11 rounds have been counted. Our General Secretary Communications has tweeted to the Election Commission asking - are trying to put pressure on the local administration by delaying the display and uploading of data. In J&K you are getting live data with every round counted but in Haryana, it is not so." Khera said. Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh also accused the EC of trying to influence the results. "Like the Lok Sabha elections, in Haryana we are again witnessing slowing down of uploading up-to- date trends on the ECI website. Is the BJP trying to build pressure on administration by sharing outdated and misleading trends?" he said. Though exit polls had predicted Congress's victory in the election, if the trend continues, the BJP is poised for a hatrick win in the Assembly election of the state. (ANI)
