The BJP on Wednesday (November 5, 2025) dismissed Rahul Gandhi's allegation of mass vote theft in the Haryana Assembly Polls as "false and baseless" and accused the Congress leader of raising questions on the Election Commission to hide his failures and defame the country's democracy.

Rahul Gandhi ‘revelation’ on voter theft LIVE

Mr. Rijiju's retort came hours after Mr. Gandhi cited electoral list data from Haryana to claim that 25 lakh entries were "fake" and the victory in the State was "stolen" from his party last year.

Mr. Gandhi said he had "100%" proof of the malfeasance he alleged.

Union Minister of Parliamentary Affairs Kiren Rijiju, in a press conference, accused Mr. Gandhi of "playing games" in collusion with "anti-India" forces to defame the country.

He said Mr. Gandhi goes abroad during elections, does not meet people on the ground, and cries foul after his party loses.

He derided him as someone who cannot work hard or live among the people.

If there is any irregularity with the voting, then one must flag it with the ECI or approach the court. "But he never does it," he said about the Congress leader.
