The Indian Express visited both places and found that in Hodal, the two addresses are, in fact, large plots where multiple homes exist and multiple families reside, many of whom said they had voted in the Assembly elections. And in Rai, The Indian Express tracked down four of the women whose photographs on the voter roll were of the Brazilian national.

Image Source : X ELECTION COMMISSION OF INDIA The Election Commission of India (ECI) has firmly dismissed the Congress party’s allegations regarding irregularities in the recent Haryana elections, labelling them as baseless and lacking factual support. In a letter addressed to the Congress party, the ECI urged them to refrain from making unfounded accusations and criticized their tendency to raise vague doubts surrounding electoral processes. The Commission highlighted that such irresponsible allegations, especially during sensitive periods like polling and counting days, could potentially incite public unrest and chaos. Citing five specific instances over the past year, the ECI called on the long-established national party to exercise caution and refrain from habitual critiques of electoral operations without credible evidence. Addressing concerns raised about the battery display status in Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs), the ECI clarified that battery voltage and capacity have no bearing on the vote-counting process or the integrity of the machines. The display of battery status on the Control Unit is merely a feature to help technical teams monitor power levels, ensuring smooth functioning …

Union Minister of Housing and Urban Affairs Manohar Lal Khattar meets Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini in New Delhi following the BJP’s victory in the Assembly elections in Haryana. | Photo Credit: ANI About six of every 10 respondents in the Lokniti-CSDS survey indicated that the party was the most critical factor in deciding who to vote for. Another one-thirds (35%) believed that the MLA candidate from their constituency swayed their decision. A minuscule share mentioned the chief ministerial candidate in determining their voting preferences (Table 1). This could be well linked to the fact that there were multiple competitors in the chief ministerial race both within the BJP and Congress. When it came to the respondents’ preferred Chief Minister candidate, there was a close race between two key leaders of the Congress and BJP. Incumbent BJP Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini was mentioned by one-third (33%) of the respondents, while two-time Congress Chief Minister Bhupinder Hooda was close behind. (Table 2). The support for the top two names was clearly on party lines. …

Image Source : INDIA TV India TV Editor-in-Chief Rajat Sharma The voters of Haryana and Jammu & Kashmir have given historic verdicts. They have given clear mandates, but the results have surprised everybody. Neither the BJP, nor the Congress, nor psephologists had any inkling of the results that were going to come in from Haryana. One point is now clear. Narendra Modi is BJP’s biggest strength. He fights elections with fervour and toils hard. The historic hat-trick in Haryana will fire up Modi to prepare his strategies for Jharkhand and Maharashtra elections. It will instill new confidence and energy among BJP workers in both the states. BJP’s bargaining power in Maharashtra’s Mahayuti alliance will increase.    The biggest message from Haryana verdict is that the narrative created by Congress and other opposition parties about caste reservation, by creating a sense of fear in the minds of Dalits, has now been nullified. In the coming weeks, one may  find Modi trying to fix other problems, one by one. He has already reconfigured the pension scheme …
