On Wednesday, Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, alleged large-scale electoral malpractices in the Haryana Assembly elections. He claimed that a Brazilian model had cast her vote under different names in as many as 10 booths, calling it a “centralised operation” to alter the electoral outcome and prevent the “favourite” Congress party from winning. Gandhi also displayed the model’s picture during his press conference.
