Congress has repeatedly targeted the Election Commission over the results of the Haryana and Maharashtra elections. This time it was from the committee. The main complaint of the Congress was that there was a huge gap between the initial voting rate released by the EC and the final voting rate. There's something wrong somewhere. But the commission made it clear that there was no irregularity or irregularities in it. It is not uncommon for there to be a discrepancy between the final vote rate and the initial vote percentage.
In a letter to Congress on Tuesday, the commission said it was natural that there would be a difference between voter turnout at 5 pm and final voting. Because, at that time, voter turnout came from different areas and added it to publish the final voting percentage. According to the Commission, there is no possibility of any discrepancy in the voting percentage. Because the 17C form is given to the agents of each political party from the booth to calculate the final percentage of votes. In that case, if the voting rate increases, it would have been caught.
After the Maharashtra polls, the Congress has questioned the overall electoral process. They questioned the voting from the revision of the voter list. Again, Congress has written to the Election Commission, alleging that there has been massive rigging up to the counting of votes. Notably, the percentage spikes on polling day. The Congress alleged that on the day of the polling, the commission informed at 5:00 am that 58.22% of votes had been cast. It was reported at 11 pm that the rate increased to 65.02%. A 7 percent increase in five hours is virtually impossible. Many political experts also joined in this same accusation. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman's husband, Parakala Prabhakar, was also named in that list.
But the Election Commission rejected the allegations. The Congress has been told that the entire election process is transparent and fair. The Election Commission has maintained transparency throughout the voting process. Moreover, there were representatives of Congress throughout the voting process.
