Nov 05, 2025

Ambala (Haryana) [India], November 5 : Amid chaos over allegations of "vote theft", Haryana Minister Anil Vij on Wednesday lashed out at Leader of Opposition (LoP), Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of talking about issues that will divide the country.
Speaking to reporters here, Vij further accused the opposition parties, including Akhilesh Yadav-led Samajwadi Party (SP) and Lalu Prasad Yadav's Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), of committing "sins" against democracy.
"Rahul Gandhi is constantly talking about things that will divide the country. We are all Indians. But they want to divide people. There is no sin that these (opposition) parties have not committed against democracy," Vij said.
Vij further dismissed his allegations of a "large-scale voter fraud" in the 2024 Haryana assembly elections, and said that the Congress MP was an expert in making "jhooth ka halwa".
"Rahul Gandhi should tell the country how many hydrogen, nuclear bombs he has? He throws empty bombs. Rahul Gandhi never mentioned how many of the polls he cited were actually cast. Where were their polling agents? What was his party doing? Rahul Gandhi is an expert in making 'jhooth ka halwa'," the Haryana Minister said.
Rahul Gandhi today alleged that one in eight voters in Haryana were fake, claiming large-scale voter fraud and pointing to unexplained discrepancies between postal and booth votes. He stated that a corrupt voter list undermines democracy and emphasised that the opposition will coordinate on next steps, while urging young people and residents of Haryana to understand the issue.
"Now, we have proof that the voter list in India is a lie. If the voter list is a lie, there is no democracy," Gandhi said during his 'H Files' press conference.
He further urged India's Gen Z and youth to safeguard the country's democratic process while addressing allegations of large-scale voter fraud in Haryana.
Gandhi highlighted that the youth have the power to restore democracy through truth and non-violence.
He also claimed a plan was set in motion to turn a predicted Congress victory into a loss.
While addressing a press conference, Rahul Gandhi said, "I want the young people of India, Gen Z, to understand this clearly. Because this is about your future. Your future is being destroyed. So it's important that you listen and you watch. I'm questioning the Election Commission and the democratic process in India. So I'm doing it with 100 per cent proof. We are pretty sure that a plan was put in motion to convert Congress' landslide victory (in Haryana) into a loss."
The concluding slide of the presentation read, "India's Gen Z and youth have the power to restore our democracy with satya and ahimsa (truth and non-violence)."
