Former Haryana Chief Minister and Leader of Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda on Tuesday accused the Election Commission and the Bharatiya Janata Party of “manipulating the electoral process and attacking democracy.” Addressing Congress leaders and workers in Gurugram after a meeting on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, Hooda said evidence of such manipulation had surfaced in the Haryana Assembly elections and was now visible during the voter list revision in West Bengal.
Congress workers trained to ensure fair voter rolls
Hooda stated that Congress workers were being trained to help eligible voters get registered while identifying and removing fake entries. “The Congress’ objective is clear: no fake votes should be added and no genuine voter should be removed,” he said. The former chief minister emphasized the party's commitment to ensuring the integrity of the electoral rolls.
Rohtak ignored by BJP government, claims Hooda
Hooda also criticized the BJP government for ignoring Rohtak, stating that neither any major industry was set up nor was any big package given for the region in the past one decade. He alleged that the lack of development in Rohtak was a deliberate oversight by the state government.
