And Vinesh emerged victorious," Bajrang Punia wrote on X. Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh had earlier in the day alleged that there is a slowing down in uploading up-to-date trends in the Haryana Assembly election's vote counting on the Election Commission website.In its official reply, the ECI dismissed these concerns, stating that the counting of votes is being conducted as per Rule 60 of the Conduct of Election Rules."With reference to your today's Memorandum regarding the slowdown in updating the results of Haryana on the ECI Website, it is reiterated that the entire counting process in Haryana and J-K is unfolding in the presence of candidates, observers and micro-observers as per the Statutory scheme. There is nothing on record to substantiate your ill-founded allegation of the slowdown in updating of results. Your Memorandum also does not bring out any contrary facts as to the delay at any of the constituencies in Haryana or J&K", said ECI in its response to Ramesh's memorandum. The commission also mentioned that similar concerns were raised by the Indian National Congress (INC) during the 2024 General Elections, which were dismissed. It emphasised that the counting process was being carried out smoothly and transparently. The ECI further clarified that Ramesh's memorandum did not provide any factual evidence to substantiate claims of delays at any specific constituency. (ANI)
