New Delhi: Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, has once again levelled serious allegations of electoral fraud against the Narendra Modi government, claiming that 2.5 million votes were stolen during the Haryana Assembly elections and warning that a similar pattern could repeat in Bihar.
Addressing a press conference in New Delhi on Wednesday, Rahul presented what he described as “evidence” of large-scale voter list manipulation. “Haryana has 20 million voters. Out of these, 2.5 million votes were stolen,” he said while displaying slides on a screen. “The same process is being repeated in Bihar. The voter list was handed to us at the last moment,” he added.
In one of his most pointed allegations, Rahul showed a photograph of a woman whom he identified as a Brazilian model, claiming her name appeared multiple times under different identities in Haryana’s voter rolls. “How can a Brazilian model’s name appear on the Haryana voter list?” he asked, accusing the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of manipulating voter data to secure electoral advantages.

He further alleged that multiple entries in the voter lists belonged to BJP supporters, calling it part of a larger conspiracy to undermine India’s democracy. “All those whose names appear multiple times are BJP voters. This is how the BJP steals elections,” Gandhi said.
The Congress leader also demanded an explanation from the Election Commission of India, questioning how the son of a man from Uttar Pradesh could appear as a voter in Haryana.
Rahul Gandhi has previously made similar accusations of “vote theft” against the government, often using data-driven presentations to back his claims. However, the Election Commission has repeatedly rejected these allegations as “baseless and misleading.”
With his remarks coming just a day before the first phase of polling in Bihar, Gandhi’s comments have added a sharp political edge to the final stretch of the campaign.
