During the press conference, titled 'H files', the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha said, "...We have crystal clear proof that 25 lakh voters (in Haryana) are fake, that they either don't exist or they are duplicate or are designed in a way for anybody to vote...1 in 8 voters in Haryana are fake, that's 12.5 per cent..."
"We have the word 'H' Files and this is about how an entire state has been stolen...We suspected that this was not happening in individual constituencies, but rather at the state and national levels. We received numerous complaints in Haryana from our candidates, stating that something was not working correctly. Their predictions all went upside down. We had experienced this in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra but we decided to zoom into Haryana and go into details about what had happened there," he said
The Congress claimed that a plan was set in motion to turn a predicted party win into a loss and also urged young voters to pay attention, citing claims backed by strong evidence
"All (exit) polls pointed to a Congress victory (in Haryana)...The other thing that was surprising to us was that, for the first time in Haryana's electoral history, postal votes differed from the actual voting...This had never happened in Haryana before. So, we thought, 'Let's go into the details.' When I first saw this information, I struggled to believe it. I was in shock...I told the team to cross-check multiple times," he said
Responding to the claims made by the Congress MP, sources within the Election Commission of India highlighted that there were zero appeals against the electoral rolls, with only 22 election petitions pending in the high court for 90 assembly seats
